EACMF Workshop. Remote Sensing 101: How high-quality data can support high-impact projects

• ​An introduction to Satellite Data: various types of satellite data and imagery that can be used in remote sensing of forest carbon projects

• ​Explanations of Satellite Resolution: Pros and cons, and appropriate use cases across project screening vs. investment-grade data

• ​Overcoming Common Challenges in Remote Sensing: How cloud cover, seasonality and other impacts data analysis and how these can be overcome.

• ​Accuracy Assessment Processes: An overview of the various methodologies and considerations for end-users of data

​This workshop is hosted by Dr Sophie Flack-Prain, the reporting and insights lead at Space Intelligence, working to link VCU standards and methodologies to high-quality science and nature mapping data. Until recently, she worked as a senior mapping scientist, leading the generation of jurisdictional scale landcover maps. She has extensive experience harnessing remote sensing data and machine learning approaches.
