Satellite imagery is a sphere with vast data perfect for machine and deep learning. With significant earth observation and rapid advances in machine learning, increasing prospects for innovative analysis have emerged to aid earth environmental monitoring. This presentation will overview various challenges related to environmental earth observation data capturing, integration, fusion, and validation. Several examples that summarize the available satellite data sources and trends will be presented. This includes LULC mapping from the integration of SAR and optical Sentinel images; Image Segmentation Parameter Selection and Ant Colony Optimization for Date Palm Tree Detection; Digital Mapping of Groundwater Potential Zones Using Remote Sensing; Assessment of Temporal Growth of Sharjah City; Spatial-Temporal Analysis of Urban Growth and its Impact on Surface Runoff; COVID-19 Lockdown and the Impact on Mobility, Air Quality, and Utility Consumption; Spatial and Temporal Inversion of Land Surface Temperature in arid regions.
