NV5 at ESA’s Living Planet Symposium 2025
NV5 Tuesday, September 16, 2025
We recently presented three cutting-edge research posters at the ESA Living Planet Symposium 2025 in Vienna, showcasing how NV5 technology and the ENVI® Ecosystem support innovation across ocean monitoring, mineral exploration, and disaster management. Explore each topic below and access the full posters to learn more.
Guardians of the Coast: Ship Monitoring and Coastal Mapping
Authors: Dr. Emilyn Hagen, Rene Gunzkofer: Session A.08.02 Advances in the theory and methodology of SAR Oceanography
This poster highlights a global SAR-based monitoring system that leverages Copernicus Sentinel-1, advanced detection methods, and deep learning to track vessels, identify “dark fleets”, and map coastal changes for maritime security and environmental management.
Unlocking Hidden Treasures from Above by Hyperspectral Imaging Across Scales
Authors: Dr. Thomas Bahr, Dr. Friederike Koerting, Dennis Adamek, Dr. Daniel Schlapfer: Session A.10.01 EO for Mineralogy Geology and Geomorphology
This study explores how spatial resolution, (from satellite to airborne to drone platforms), affect mineral mapping and accuracy. Using ENVI-based workflows, researchers compared EnMAP, AVIRIS-NG, and HySpex data to demonstrate the strengths of hyperspectral imagery for mineral exploration.
Precision In Peril: SAR Strategies for Disaster and Emergency Operations
Authors: Nicolai Holzer, James Slater: Session F.05.04 Earth Observation in Governance: Bridging Data and Decision Making
This poster showcases the role of SAR in disaster management, from wildfire damage assessments in California to flood mapping in Spain and cyclone monitoring in Australia. Using ENVI SARscape and ENVI Connect, NV5 demonstrates how SAR delivers situational awareness in all weather and lighting conditions.
