Explainable AI: application to trustworthy super-resolution (OpenSR) 

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD (GB)

The project aims to bring robust, accountable, and scalable multi-spectral super-resolution techniques to the Earth Observation (EO) community for the ubiquitous L2 and L3 pre-processing of the Sentinel-2 (S2) revisits archive. Super-resolution (SR) is a nascent technology and the roadmap to maturity will require insights from many disciplines. Super-resolution is not just about image generation, …

Global vegetation productivity and hydrometeorological variables

How does taking into account vertical variability of Soil Moisture impact on predicting vegetation productivity? Does this impact depend on climatic areas and vegetation types? These are the main questions addressed by a recently published paper, outcome of Living Planet Fellow Sophia Walther research. The study demonstrates how, at the global scale, semi-arid areas and …

AI4ARCTIC

Prime company: NORWEGIAN COMPUTING CENTER NORSK REGNESENTRAL (NO)

The AI for the Arctic (AI4ARCTIC) project applies deep learning, in particular deep convolutional neural networks, for Earth observation applications within the cryosphere, focusing on sea ice and snow. The project trains deep-learning systems from relevant training data, and tests and demonstrates the capability of deep learning by applying it to large-scale inference of cryosphere-related …

Matthew Gaddes

Matthew has been at Leeds since 2014 and was initially a PhD candidate, before completing his studies and becoming a postdoc in 2019.  Since July 2020, he has been a European Space Agency Living Planet Fellow, and is part funded by the Centre for the Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tectonics (COMET) and …

VMDL: Volcano Monitoring using Deep Learning

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS, SCHOOL OF EARTH AND ENVIRONMENT (GB)

Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Matthew Gaddes. The Earth’s subaerial volcanoes pose a variety of threats to humanity, yet the vast majority remain unmonitored.  However, with the advent of the latest synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites, interferometric SAR (InSAR) has evolved into a tool that can be used to monitor the majority …
