The objective of the SENTREE (Semi-supervised SENtinel-2 TREE Species Detection) project is to detect tree species in Norwegian production forests by developing deep learning models which will combine high resolution aerial imagery with Sentinel-2 data. A major challenge in utilizing deep learning for tree species detection is the limited amount of training labels and their …
Information on forest biomass and carbon is in high demand by forestry stakeholders. This project will develop remote sensing based user-centric approaches for forest carbon monitoring, helping to shift economies towards carbon neutral futures.We aim to develop and implement a prototype of a remote sensing based monitoring and accounting platform with consistent results on carbon …

ESA and the Latin American Society of Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Systems (SELPER) organised a training course preceding the XIX International SELPER Symposium. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event took place in an online format. The theoretical and practical sessions were led by different experts coming from ESA, CONAE, CRECTEALC, NASA ARSET, NASA …
Most recent add-on to the collection of online MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) dedicated to Earth observation data, techniques and applications is Land in Focus, launched last 4 October. This MOOC, funded by ESA, has been developed by experts from various internationally renowned institutes such as EOS Jena, WUR Wageningen, RUB Bochum, FSU Jena, Sinergise, …
Optimizing water resources is a real issue in some geographical area. Temperature have increased by 0,85°C on average between 1880 and 2012 and couldreach 4.8°C by 2100 compared to the period from 1986 to 2005, according to the last IPCC report. As a result, agriculture and viticulture are facing an increasing water scarcity at the …
PROJECT GOALS The dense spatial and temporal coverage of the Amazon basin with Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar scenes has opened vast potential for capturing the complexity in tropical forest loss and regrowth. Sentinel-1 for Science Amazonas aims to: Develop, test and validate an operational-level Multi-temporal forest Change Detection (MCD) algorithm, Estimate carbon loss and gain …
Living Planet Fellowship research project carried out by Anna Kontu. Passive microwave observations at L-band (1.4 GHz) can detect soil freeze/thaw status based on the differences in the electrical properties of ice and liquid water. This method is suitable for detecting autumn freezing, but during spring thawing the liquid water in melting snow confounds the signal from …
