NSO is currently working on making the Satellite Data Portal more effective for the Dutch Caribbean islands  Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius. To support this project the 2025-2026 Earth Observation Thesis Lab will focus on how to improve the use of Earth Observation data for the Dutch Caribbean. Students are asked to contribute to this overarching challenge with master thesis projects.
