The Permafrost Discovery Gateway hosts a monthly webinar series on a Thursday at 09:00 Alaska time. The webinar aims to 1) connect the international science community interested in big data remote sensing of permafrost landscapes, and 2) provide the Permafrost Discovery Gateway development team with end-user stories (by the presenter and webinar participants), such as exploring tools the community needs to create and explore big data.
Abstract
Circumpolar land surface characterization at 10m became possible with the availability of data from the Copernicus Sentinel-1 and -2 missions. Added value is obtained through fusion of the different data types, synthetic aperture radar and multispectral. Novel datasets representing the heterogeneity of the natural environment and the magnitude of human impacts through expansion of infrastructure and natural resource use are presented including retrieval challenges.
