Journal ArticleDOI
The Potential of Sentinel Satellites for Burnt Area Mapping and Monitoring in the Congo Basin Forests
Astrid Verhegghen,Hugh Eva,Guido Ceccherini,Frédéric Achard,Valéry Gond,Sylvie Gourlet-Fleury,Paolo Omar Cerutti +6 more
TL;DR: The maps show that the origin of the fires correlates with accessibility to the forest, suggesting an anthropogenic origin, and the severity of the drought in the Congo Basin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping Congo Basin vegetation types from 300 m and 1 km multi-sensor time series for carbon stocks and forest areas estimation
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed map of vegetation types with an improved spatial discrimination and coherence for the whole Congo Basin region is presented, where a total of 20 land cover classes were described with the standardized Land Cover Classification System (LCCS) developed by the FAO.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparing land surface phenology of major European crops as derived from SAR and multispectral data of Sentinel-1 and -2
Michele Meroni,Raphaël d'Andrimont,Anton Vrieling,Dominique Fasbender,Guido Lemoine,Felix Rembold,Lorenzo Seguini,Astrid Verhegghen +7 more
TL;DR: This study extracted crop-specific land surface phenology (LSP) from Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 of major European crops using ground-truth information from the “Copernicus module” of the Land Use/Cover Area frame statistical Survey (LUCAS) of 2018 and demonstrated that both Sentinel- 1 and -2 can provide relevant and at times complementary LSP information at field- and crop-level.
Journal ArticleDOI
A global NDVI and EVI reference data set for land-surface phenology using 13 years of daily SPOT-VEGETATION observations
TL;DR: In this paper, Taylor et al. used the SPOT (Satellite Pour l'Observation de la Terre)-VEGETATION sensor and its 13-year time series of reflectance values to produce a reference data set describing the seasonal and inter-annual variability of the land surface phenology on a global scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
From parcel to continental scale – A first European crop type map based on Sentinel-1 and LUCAS Copernicus in-situ observations
Raphaël d'Andrimont,Astrid Verhegghen,Guido Lemoine,Pieter Kempeneers,Michele Meroni,Marijn van der Velde +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the first continental crop type map at 10m spatial resolution for the EU based on S1A and S1B Synthetic Aperture Radar observations for the year 2018.
