As promised two weeks ago, the ‘Platform’-page of our website has now been updated with information on the methods and datasets to be used in the platform prototype demonstrations. Have a look at the updated page to get a better idea on what kind of methods and datasets will be used and what kind of prototype products can be expected from the demonstrations.
Carbon Monitoring

During the past six months we have been busy running hundreds of tests with different Earth observation (EO) data combinations and prediction algorithms in the seven testing sites in Europe and Peru. These tests were conducted to allow selection of optimal EO data and method combinations for the demonstrations to be implemented during the second year of the project.
The Forest Carbon Monitoring project is well represented in the ESA Living Planet Symposium 2022 taking place this week in Bonn, Germany.
The Forest Carbon Monitoring project is gearing up towards the demonstration phase. For the past two months, massive Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 pre-processing tasks have been run on the Forestry TEP online platform.
We have reached another exciting phase in the Forest Carbon Monitoring project. We have the first results of the estimation of variables like basal area, diameter, height and growing stock volume, as well as species identification and site type classification.
The findings of a recently concluded H2020 Forest Flux Innovation Action project will directly benefit our ongoing Forest Carbon Monitoring project.
Remote sensing observations from space are evolving to operational tools, possibly in complement with measurements taken on the ground. In the forestry sector, the use of satellite data is appealing because these cover large areas within a short period of time providing repeated snapshots of the landscape.
The Forest Carbon Monitoring project has been discussing with organizations about their carbon monitoring needs at European to national and regional levels, and even at the level of individual forest estates.
Creating value through real users’ needs and behavioural understanding are among our main goals in the Forest Carbon Monitoring project. By achieving that, we can better understand how to enhance engagement with customers on carbon information and its benefits. Another target is to engage individuals with differing interests into co-creation. […]
