This working group intends to provide a platform for the community to exchange the latest findings (e.g., new approaches to multi-source remote sensing, that include biophysical, social and economic aspects land use and management, better interpretation of RS products for land use and land management, “knowledge gaps” or “land use and management data policy gaps”) in the land use/cover mapping field in the context of remotely sensed big data. On the one hand, the land use data requirement from LSS communities can be shared with RS scientists; on the other hand, the LSS scientists can be informed about the most recent progresses in land use mapping in this platform. With ongoing development in remote sensing technology as well as the improvement of mapping algorithms, a set of national and global scale land cover/use products with higher spatial and temporal resolutions have been developed and validated to address this gap between LSS and RS. We welcome any working group members whose work is related to the application of remote sensing within land system sciences, including multi-sensor, multi-resolution, multi-temporal remote sensing analysis, and specific case studies in different regions of the world.
The main goal of this working group is to support land system science by using new advances in the new remote sensing era and to close the gap between LSS and RS. The specific objectives of this Working Group include:
GLP Themes: Telecoupling of land use systems, Land management systems
GLP Methods: Remote Sensing
Event
NASA's ARSET program is offering a training in English and Spanish that will provide attendees an overview of citizen science efforts that use Earth Observations, and teach how to engage with community members in a supportive and meaningful manner to achieve project goals. Attendance is free.
Event
The European Space Agency (ESA), in collaboration with Global Carbon Project, CEOS, NASA and the European Commission, is organising the 4th Carbon from Space Workshop to bring together the EO, in situ and Earth system science communities to identify gaps, challenges and issues to address in understanding the carbon cycle. The workshop, this time, will focus specifically on the terrestrial component of the carbon cycle and its interactions with the ocean and atmosphere. Deadline to register: 30 September
