Geomatics Projects

The Climate Change Initiative Land Cover project aims at providing long-term satellite-based products on the land surface and its dynamics to further understand the climate system and support climate modelling. Consistent global products were generated: global maps characterizing LC and changes at 300m from 1992 to 2015, a series of the seasonality of the vegetation greenness, snow and burned areas and a global map of open permanent water bodies at 150m. The project also generated 10-m land cover maps with Sentinel-2 over Africa and MesoAmerica.
