(Re)Envisioning Syria: Earth Observation Research on Conflict Damage and Recovery
4 mai 2026 13:00 UTC – 14:00 UTC
Syria's prolonged conflict has reshaped cities, landscapes, and livelihoods at a scale that demands careful documentation and analysis. As Syria enters a fragile transition, earth observation is powerful in identifying the impact of conflict across space and time, offering evidence that is difficult or impossible to gather on the ground.
This webinar brings together researchers from the Decentralized Damage Mapping Group (DDMG) to share findings on urban destruction, environmental change, and related impacts across Syria. Drawing on satellite data and remote sensing methods, these perspectives aim to support the humanitarian and recovery communities working to rebuild Syria equitably and accountably. The session is organized by HOT and DDMG, with support from the H2H Network, whose Syria activation brings together a consortium of organizations to strengthen humanitarian information management, coordination, and geospatial data for response and recovery. Come learn about the research and connect with experts!
