The ToolSuite project is bridging the last mile providing a solution for user driven Tree Cover Density (TCD) product in his operating environment. The tool has been adapted to the needs of the national MRV unit in Mozambique, which uses TCD information to support in-country reporting.
The RAMM project (Radar Alerts for Mangrove Monitoring) objective is to develop a system that provides monthly mangrove forest change alerts to support end users in mangrove protection, conservation, restoration, and management, complementing an existing optical image detection system with radar alerts from Sentinel-1 time series. The approach will be implemented in the Global Mangrove …
The project is coordinating R&D activities in the Global Forest Observation Initiative (GFOI) and interact with the scientific EO and forestry community. It interacts with all components of GFOI and identifies gaps and user needs to advance operational forest monitoring. It contributes to the Method and Guideline Documents and the CEOS AFOLU Roadmap process on …
The AI4FLUM project will develop an AI model for classifying forest land use of special tree covered areas by training on FAO’s Forest Resource Assessment (FRA) data, interpretating in a compatible way with the FRA Remote Sensing Survey (RSS) process and provide a related module to be integrated into FAO’s SEPAL The model will be …
The objective is to develop and demonstrate a carbon information product for Europe to support carbon sequestration projects and carbon markets, which is in line and timely with respect to the European Green Deal and the overall effort within Europe to achieve a net-zero carbon balance by 2050. This encompasses a critical need to accurately …
The WorldPeatland project will prototype an improved mapping and monitoring of intact, degraded and cultivated peatlands for conservation, management and restoration worldwide. Integrated indicators to assess peatland condition will be derived from multitemporal trends of hydrology, surface motions, and vegetation biophysical parameters. The tools developed within this collaborative effort will be made available to peatland …

Background The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), in association with the European Space Agency (ESA), are jointly organising a course on Advanced SAR Technologies & Applications. This course focuses on SAR data processing, polarimetry, and interferometry. It will cover a range of applications, from terrain mapping to vegetation analysis and ocean/coastal monitoring. Objectives The …
This in-person training, organised in the frame of the ISPRS-SELPER 2024 symposium, will take place just before the event at the same location. The main purpose is to present and to teach how to handle various tools to process Earth Observation (EO) data relevant for forestry applications. The course will combine theoretical lectures and practical …
Background There is a steadily growing pressure on agriculture and the entire food system to increase the global production, while at the same time ensuring healthy, nutrient-rich products and sustainability both in the terms of sufficient income for farmers and in terms of impact on the soil and other inputs, as well as on the …
