The SPOT-VEGETATION and PROBA-V satellite missions collected vegetation related information from 1998 to 2020. To continue this long term data series, we now turn to Sentinel-3. The Sentinel-3 Level-2 synergy (SYN) products rely on the combination of input products of the OLCI and SLSTR instruments. The Sentinel-3 SYN VGT products are designed to provide surface vegetation products, similar to those obtained from the VEGETATION (VGT) instrument onboard the SPOT satellites. 

Join Carolien Toté during this webinar to learn more about:

• What are the Sentinel-3 SYN VGT products and how are they generated?
• What is the consistency between SYN VGT and the SPOT-VGT / PROBA-V archives? What are possible sources of inconsistencies?
• How to access and use the data?

With the energy transition in full swing, marine wind speed is an invaluable parameter to find areas suitable for offshore wind farms. Moreover, it influences oil spill propagation, sediment transport, etc. Thanks to the sensor’s all-weather observation capacity and sensitivity to surface roughness, radar data provided by the Sentinel-1 satellite are ideal to monitor marine wind speed.

During this webinar, Lisa Landuyt will explain more about:

• the Sentinel-1 Level-2 OCeaN products
• how to monitor wind speed through time and space
• how to analyze the wind energy potential in offshore areas

The openEO service that we offer via Terrascope has evolved into the larger openEO Platform service and is now also available via Terrascope EOplaza, the platform to access and offer a variety of high-quality EO services. This gives you as a user access to full archives of Copernicus and USGS data, together with large-scale processing capacity that can be reached through an easily installable, user-friendly library in your preferred environment (Python, Jupyter, R, JavaScript, ...).

Together with the uptake of the openEO Platform, the openEO standard is also supported by the European Space Agency (ESA) and proposed towards the Open Geospatial Consortium as a standard for access and analytics of earth observation data cubes.
In this webinar, we’ll explain how these evolutions make it worthwhile to use the openEO Platform as a new tool to your EO data science toolbox. Join us 27 September and discover:

• how we created a continental crop-type map using openEO
• the various options to receive or purchase a subscription on the platform
• the evolutions in the EO platform ecosystem, and where openEO fits in

In October 2021, ESA’s WorldCover consortium released a new global land cover map at 10 m resolution, providing valuable information for many applications such as biodiversity, food security, carbon assessment and climate modelling.

Ruben Van De Kerchove, WorldCover project manager, will introduce you to this new benchmark land cover product based on both Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 data. View this webinar to learn more about WorldCover and how this new global map can benefit your application.

• Introduction to the WorldCover project
• Methodology, data and validation 
• The WorldCover 2020 map and online viewer
• How to access for free the  WorldCover map 
• User feedback & lessons learned 
• WorldCover 2021

During this webinar, Lisa Landuyt explained how Sentinel satellite data and other EO services, available in Terrascope, were combined to develop TerraFlood, a tool for near-real time flood monitoring. The methodology was developed in collaboration with the Flemish Environmental Agency (VMM) and was also used to map the devastating floods that hit Belgium in the summer of 2021. View this webinar and learn more about:

• Sentinel-1 and its potential for water quality monitoring 
• TerraFlood flood mapping algorithm
• Flood maps and derived products available through Terrascope

Monitoring infrastructures subject to small motions is very expensive and time-consuming. By using Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) techniques, we can monitor man-made structures like bridges over time and obtain subsidence time-series. In this webinar Yves Impens and Mehrdad Moshtaghi will explain more about bridge monitoring requirements and InSAR time-series using Sentinel-1 data from Terrascope.

• Bridge monitoring in Flanders
• InSAR method and use cases
• Deformation time-series over bridges

In this webinar Guy Hendrickx explains more about the role of Earth observation in disease management. You will discover examples based on the experience of the Avia-GIS team and the products they derive from the Terrascope platform. View this webinar to learn more about:

• What is disease management? 
• Which environmental covarites are required? 
• How does Terrascope contribute to disease management?
