Jaxa's Earth Observation Data Analysis on Covid-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought difficulties to our daily lives and caused various changes in socio-economic activities and the natural environment. To monitor and record the changes in socio-economic activities and the environment before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, JAXA has collaborated with NASA and ESA in developing a trilateral dashboard to provide socio-economic activities and natural environmental change information derived from earth observation data. JAXA also has analyzed Earth observation data, for example, ALOS-2, GCOM-C, GOSAT and GOSAT-2 and opened at a special website “JAXA for Earth on COVID-19” in the categories of airports, industry, shipping, agriculture, greenhouse gasses and water quality.
