Sentinel-1 Interferometric Coherence for Vegetation and Mapping (SINCOHMAP)

Prime company: DARES TECHNOLOGY (ES)

SINCOHMAP is an ESA SEOM project with the objective of developing, analysing and validating novel methodologies for land cover & vegetation mapping using Sentinel-1 Interferometric Coherence Evolution. One of the main objectives of the project is to quantify the impact in using S-1 InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) data relative to traditional land cover and vegetation mapping …

ESA/CONAE L/C/X band SAR Training Course

November 12, 2018 - November 17, 2018

ESA and CONAE organised a SAR course in preparation of CONAE’s SAOCOM mission. The topics focused on demonstrating the combined use of X/C/L band SAR data for a variety of applications (including vegetation monitoring, disaster mapping and cryosphere)  and using different techniques (among which InSAR and Polarimetry). This training addressed 70 Argentinian users with previous …

GlobDiversity: Development of High-Resolution RS-Enabled EBVs on the Structure and Function of Terrestrial Ecosystems

Prime company: UNIVERSITY OF ZURICH (CH)

A global knowledge of the state of and changes to biological diversity can only be based on a combination of in-situ and remotely sensed observations integrated into a comprehensive biodiversity knowledge system. The needs to integrate satellite observations in a unified and global biodiversity monitoring strategy has been recognised by the Convention on Biological Diversity …

RS4EBV: Remote Sensing for Essential Biodiversity Variables (DUE Innovator III Series)

Prime company: UN WORLD CONSERVATION MONITORING CENTRE (UN-WCMC) (GB)

Biodiversity is facing a global crisis as evidenced by dramatic declines in species and habitats. Tracking the state of biodiversity requires operational monitoring systems underpinned by robust indicators. While these indicators convey invaluable information to policy makers on the status and trends of biodiversity, their use is hampered due to patchy geographical coverage of input …

SEOM Sen2Coral

Prime company: ARGANS LIMITED (GB)

Sen2Coral aims to develop and validate new algorithms relevant for coral reef monitoring based on Sentinel-2 observations, including benthic mapping, coral reef health and mortality as well as bathymetry. The activity will develop open source algorithms  for mapping (habitat, bathymetry, and water quality) and detection change for coral reef health assessment and monitorin as well …
