Lunchtime Discussion with Andrew Zolli & Trevor Hammond, Planet

Join us on Wednesday, 3/6 at 12pm for a lunchtime discussion with Andrew Zolli from Planet, a satellite image provider. Remote sensing dates back to the 1858, when cameras were carried by balloons to take aerial images of the earth. Building on these early capture techniques, satellites and advancements in image capture have enabled a new era of remote sensing. For decades, working with satellite imagery was cumbersome and slow. But new tools, such as those developed by Planet, make monitoring easier than ever before.

Planet’s mission is to image the entire Earth every day and make global change visible, accessible, and actionable. Whether it is tracking deforestation at home or abroad, measuring impacts of natural disasters, or tracking the progress of urbanization, daily monitoring of satellite imagery has incredible potential to change how journalists make sense of our world. Join us to learn about Planet’s platform — which is free to journalists — and learn about potential opportunities for partnership.
