Blending hi-tech methods like #SatelliteImagery with field data has transformed #ConflictResearch, improving insight into hard-to-access areas. A comprehensive understanding of crises is crucial if policymakers are to design effective responses. Read more: https://t.co/m1BWTUFGFm

I don’t even have the time to list out what this story gets wrong. 🤦🏼‍♂️ However, most important point I need to make about difference between satellite imagery of conflict events from @Maxar and propaganda is that you can do *SCIENCE* and *MATH* to independently validate analyses!

[Vantor @vantortech]

High-resolution Maxar #satelliteimagery collected over #Bucha, #Ukraine verifies and corroborates recent social media videos and photos that reveal bodies lying in the streets and left out in the open for weeks. https://t.co/hRdVmd2gUJ

[Nathaniel Raymond @nattyray11]

@joshrogin if we could do what you propose technically, ethically, legally, we’d be doing it now. Trust me. I’d be one of the ones doing it. But we can’t because we don’t want to send basically a fuel laden missile (likely blind) into a guaranteed shoot down on top of civilians.

[Nathaniel Raymond @nattyray11]

Drones have NOT…I repeat…have NOT been used to deliver aid in Syria “for years”. In fact, the attempts to do so have (rightly) failed. See: https://t.co/iXzK2qbWOi

[Nathaniel Raymond @nattyray11]

Because I’m worried this idea will now “take off” in media, I want to thoroughly address the claims below as a prophylactic to someone actually thinking this is a sound suggestion. (Sighs, rolls up sleeves) Here we go: First, let’s address the claim about aid drones in Syria…

[Centre for Statecraft & National Security @CSNS_UK]

We are delighted to announce the launch of a major new project: the XCEPT research programme at @KingsCollegeLon. XCEPT seeks to better understand conflict-affected borderlands, how conflicts connect across borders, and the factors that shape violent and peaceful behaviour. 1/8

[Joe Morrison @mouthofmorrison]

This is pretty awesome - @AstraeaInc and @Satellogic just launched a collaboration so that organizations needing access to timely satellite data over Ukraine get both imagery and tooling to exploit it bundled together: https://t.co/q8TZHxx2UW
