[TALK CANCELLED] Estimating the economic impact of COVID-19 using real-time images from space

In this talk, we will first discuss the process of analysing GeoTIFF images of surface lights on Earth from space using multicore processing tools on AWS. Second, we will discuss how the data can then be used to predict GDP and other economic metrics, especially during supply-demand shocks like COVID-19.
