Over the many years, Apollo Mapping has helped a countless number of academics and professors source the proper imagery for their grant-funded research budgets. Whether it is 8-band multispectral and short-wave infrared (SWIR) WorldView-3 satellite imagery for land-use land-cover mapping; 50-cm digital elevation models (DEMs) for archaeological research; or synthetic aperture radar (SAR) for monitoring weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) in remote regions, we have decades of expertise finding the correct geospatial data source for your next project.

Article Title, Author & Academic Institution: The Tsunamite Problem, Ganapathy Shanmugam, University of Texas at Arlington
Key Scientific Discipline(s): geology, sedimentology
Executive Summary: A new approach to classifying tsunamites, which are deposits formed by tsunamis, based on sedimentology is presented in the paper. QuickBird imagery from a 2004 Sri Lanka tsnumai is used to illustrate one tsunamite formation process – and as a fun note, this image was donated to Ganapathy while Brock worked at DigitalGlobe so many moons ago!
Commercial Satellite Imagery Datasets Used: 60-cm panchromatic and 2.4-m 4-band multispectral QuickBird
