New article on automatic forest cover classification in GEE
📢 Our latest paper, in collaboration with Katarína Onačillová and Veronika Krištofová from Univerzita ‘Pavla Jozefa Šafárika’ v Košiciach, introduces an automatic forest cover classification pipeline in Google Earth Engine to classify forest layers at country level. 🌳🛰️ We harnessed the power of Sentinel-2 satellite data and machine learning algorithms in Google Earth Engine (GEE) to create countrywide classifications of forests in Slovakia spanning from […]
Daniel Paluba won the third place in the prestigious European Space Agency “Get Space Inspired” competition
Combining a passion for travel with research in remote sensing data analysis – that’s the idea behind the proposed SatPlanner project by our team member, Daniel Paluba, which won a great 3rd place in the European Space Agency’s “Get Space Inspired” competition! The aim of the Get Space Inspired competition was to gather ideas for […]
Understanding the Complex Dynamics of Land Use and Cover Changes in Czechia
The management of land resources faces multifaceted challenges, driven by the demand for biomass resources and the expansion of the economy. To address these challenges, gaining insights into the drivers and consequences of land use and cover changes is essential. A recent study Grešlová et al. (2023) introduces an innovative approach that merges spatial analysis […]
Don’t be afraid to teach remote sensing in schools!
Remote sensing and climate change were the main topics of a seminar organized within the GLOBE Regional Meeting for Europe and Eurasia (2023.globemeeting.eu). Almost 100 teachers, scientists and GLOBE programme coordinators met in Riga, Latvia, on 18-20 October. The GLOBE (Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment) program is an international science and education […]
