ArchEO (Optical Remote Sensing for Archaeological
Prospection)
ESA research project: ArchEO
• Duration: Two years (2014 - 2016).
• Team: Wasat Sp., in cooperation with the
University of Poznan.
• Budget: 180K euros.
1st ESA Polish Industry Incentive Scheme for new member states
Assessment of the use of EO techniques for the discovery and analysis of the archaeological heritage in Central Europe.
Optical EO satellite imagery are processed to identify the most efficient techniques for discovering traces of buried archaeological features over a number of Polish archaeological sites.

McCauley et al., 1982 showed how SIR-A, (L-band,
24 centimeter), on the space shuttle Columbia in
November 1981 penetrated the hyperarid Selima
Sand Sheet, dunes, and drift sand of the eastern
Sahara, and revealed previously unknown buried
valleys, geologic features, and potential Stone Age
occupation sites.
The depth of radar penetration (laboratory
measurements) = at least 5 meters.
Field studies = at least 1 meter in the Selima Sand
Sheet and in drift sand and 2 or more meters in
sand dunes.
Many other studies since, e.g.
Mojave Desert of California, SEASAT imagery.

Structural Monitoring with Repeat Pass InSARMillennium Tower, San Francisco
Sentinel-1 radar data show ground displacement of downtown San Francisco. While green indicates no detected movement, points in yellow, orange and red indicate where structures are subsiding, or sinking.

‘Open Initiative on the Use of Space Technologies to Support the World Heritage Convention’
• Space Agencies
• Universities and Research Institutes
• Private Sector
• International Symposium/Congress
The ‘Open Initiative’ aims to develop a framework of co-operation in order to assist developing countries, through space technologies, to improve their natural and cultural conservation activities.
On 18 June 2003 at the Paris Air Show in Le Bourget (France), UNESCO and the European Space Agency (ESA) signed an agreement to encourage Earth observation satellites to be used to monitor cultural and natural World Heritage sites.
The signing of the Agreement officially launched the ‘Open Initiative on the Use of Space Technologies to Support the World Heritage Convention’.
