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.
