Earth observation (EO) sensors on satellite platforms can be used to remotely study vulnerable regions of the world that are in need of monitoring capabilities on scales that cannot be attained by ground- based instruments. In this project we will use the first land surface temperature climate data record from the Along Track Scanning Radiometer series of instruments, designed and calibrated using STFC expertise, to map long-term land use changes across the Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP). Rapidly increasing urbanisation, degrading air quality and an increasing demand for groundwater is adding additional pressures to the natural ecosystem within the IGP, recently highlighted as one of the most polluted regions by the World Health Organisation.As science and technology communities in the UK are being directed towards research that provides social and economic benefits to developing nations, it is imperative that we develop innovative methods on how to use UK-led EO science to aid governments and communities in the developing world to make informed decisions about protecting their natural food and water resources and more effective urban planning. Additionally, this project aims to further develop existing relationships and create new partnerships between STFC and EO, instrumentation and technology communities in India.

卫星平台上的地球观测（EO）传感器可用于远程研究世界上的脆弱地区，这些地区需要地面仪器无法达到的规模监测能力。在该项目中，我们将使用沿轨扫描辐射计系列仪器的第一个地表温度气候数据记录（利用 STFC 的专业知识进行设计和校准）来绘制印度恒河平原 (IGP) 的长期土地利用变化图。快速发展的城市化、不断恶化的空气质量和不断增加的地下水需求给 IGP 内的自然生态系统带来了额外的压力，该地区最近被世界卫生组织列为污染最严重的地区之一。针对为发展中国家提供社会和经济效益的研究，我们必须开发创新方法，利用英国主导的环氧乙烷科学来帮助发展中国家的政府和社区就保护其天然食物和水做出明智的决定资源和更有效的城市规划。此外，该项目旨在进一步发展 STFC 与印度 EO、仪器和技术界之间的现有关系并建立新的伙伴关系。
