- We very much need better methane and N2O monitoring satellites.
- Work on space-based solar power.
- Work on satellites that monitor CO2 emissions at a more granular level than current systems.
- Work on systems for detecting deforestation and monitoring coastlines and oceans.
- Use EO data to optimize solar panel placement. And maybe wind farms if there is a way to get surface wind speed using SAR, occultation, or other techniques like you can get ocean wave height with smallsat radar.
- Figure out how to use space-based data to monitor stratospheric aerosol levels.

- Use EO data to predict severe weather events and save lives.
Edit: we often write about climate + space in https://orbitalindex.com https://orbitalindex.com.
