Evolution of the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service
EvoLand will develop eleven new product candidates for Copernicus Land Monitoring Service (CLMS), through innovative approaches in data fusion, continuous monitoring, AI and biomass mapping, as well as through the integration of novel EO and in-situ data.
Methods
EvoLand will develop new methods to transform traditional land cover maps (status and change at multi-year intervals) towards continuous monitoring of land cover dynamics. These methods include change detection techniques on surface reflectance/backscatter time series, as well as continuous mapping of land surface characteristics.
Thematic domains
The 11 CLMS candidate prototype services are looking to address challenges across five domains.
Agriculture
Supporting agribusiness actors ranging from policy makers to farmers with cutting edge Copernicus products.
Water
Finer spatial resolution for improved water mapping and sound decision-making.
Forest
New and upgraded Copernicus products to support EU Forest and Biodiversity Strategies for 2030.
Urban
Frequently updated urban mapping for sustainable and efficient planning
General land cover
Continuous and on-demand land cover mapping at a finer resolution to support EU and international policies.

Improving water body mapping by means of novel EO-data and super resolution
From the smallest to the largest, water bodies play a crucial role in supporting ecosystems and human communities. Their accurate and constant monitoring becomes essential for understanding changes in freshwater availability, ecosystem health, and climate patterns. Traditionally, water body mapping has relied on various methods, including field surveys and aerial photography. However, these established approaches are known to often have limitations in terms of spatial coverage, resolution, and...
