# Remote Sensing for Journalism
This repository contains a series of notebooks describing interaction with the Copernicus Open Acces Hub in order to obtain and manipulate earth observation data.
The aim is to document common tasks that might make the data from the Copernicus Sentinel missions attractive for usage in data journalism reporting.
This repository contains a series of notebooks describing interaction with the Copernicus Open Acces Hub in order to obtain, manipulate and analyze earth observation data.
The aim is to document common tasks that might make the data from the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission attractive for usage in data journalism.
The publication and research uses [Jupyter notebooks](https://jupyter.org) and is published using [jupyter-books](https://jupyter-book.org), an open-source python project that allows generating HTML pages from a collection of Jupyter notebooks.

Note that working with this kind of data is resource intensive.
These notebooks download or create roughly 50GB of data, most of which is occupied by compressed GeoTIFF files.
They have been executed and tested on a virtual server with 4 CPU cores at 2.6 GHz each and 32 GB of RAM.
