Join GIS Week forum speaker Dr. Emil Cherrington for a studio "Use of NASA Open Data for Land Cover Change Monitoring and Vegetation Height Modeling"
Time & Location

Jordan Hall Addition 1214, Jordan Hall, 2800 Faucette Dr, Raleigh, NC 27607, USA
About The Event
This two-part studio activity will focus on the use of open data from the NASA / USGS Landsat series of satellites for mapping land cover change, and the use of spaceborne LiDAR data from the GEDI instrument for estimating vegetation height. This activity will focus on the use of the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, in conjunction with the LandTrendr algorithm (Kennedy et al. 2010, Kennedy et al. 2018), and a regression-based vegetation height upscaling technique developed by Ujaval Gandhi of the company Spatial Thoughts. While the specific geographic focus of the studio activity will be Mesoamerica, participants will be able to adjust the study domains to their respective areas of interest.
