EO4Landscape

The research team EO4Landscape is a part of Department of Applied Geoinformatics and Cartography at Faculty of Science, Charles University. Main focus of the team is on multidisciplinary landscape studies using modern geoinformatics methods: Earth Observation/Remote Sensing; 3D, Cloud computing...

Members of the team deal with:

• Earth Observation (EO)
  Advanced classification methods using remote sensing data, Time Series, Normalization methods of remote sensing data, Big Data, Cloud computing and satellite data - Google Earth Engine, Sentinel Hub
• Land Use/Land Cover (LUCC)
  Long-term Land Use/Land Cover Change, Driving forces of LUCC,
• 3D
  Vizualization of the dynamic landscape changes in 3D, 
• Web GIS technologies and maps services
  vizualization of landscape changes, in-situ data colection
• Capacity building and education in GIS and EO
