The Beyond the Visible Summer School explores how Earth observation (EO) and artificial intelligence (AI) are transforming the way societies understand and manage terrestrial resources. Across land, water, food, energy, and global supply chains, decision-makers face increasing pressure to respond to environmental and economic change under uncertainty. Advances in EO data and AI-driven analytics are…
