SP4.1: Optical Remote Sensing

Land Surface department, concerned with vegetation dynamics

The subproject description

  • The Problem

    Coming soon

  • The Objectives
    1. The assessment of productivity, vegetation cover and anthropogenic land use at high
      spatio-temporal resolution with optical remote sensing time series and with synergistic (optical-radar) approaches (with SP 1).
    2. The validation of the optical satellite data products by field surveys.
    3. The development of a land degradation indicator to measure degradation patterns.
  • The Methodology

    Coming soon
