Tools & Resources
Unlock the potential of Earth observations with our collection of tools and products – all of them developed by volunteer teams from EOTEC DevNet’s communities of practice. Explore these resources to find cutting-edge solutions – along with resources to build your capacity to use them.
The flood and drought trackers capture available datasets, models and tools as well as related capacity building resources. They were created to help users find the right dataset, model, or tools to meet their needs. Users can keep them current by adding new tools and capacity building resources.
EOTEC DevNet thanks the CEOS Systems Engineering Office for their support in building and maintaining the trackers.
