Project goals:

The main goals of this project are as follows:

Task description:

The results of the research on chlorophyll fluorescence estimation using machine learning techniques demonstrated the usefulness of Sentinel-2 satellite imagery in 2022 (Bartold and Kluczek in Remote Sensing). As part of the project, an algorithm will be refined for processing satellite imagery in the Google Earth Engine cloud platform. The algorithm will involve creating monthly mosaics generated from cloud-free Sentinel-2 satellite images registered over the period May-September 2023 and calculating vegetation indices. A new spatiotemporal prediction model for chlorophyll fluorescence will be adapted based on field data, recordings from automatic measurement stations AWS Campbell, ISMN probe network, and satellite vegetation indices. The final product will consist of a set of maps depicting spatiotemporal changes in the distribution of chlorophyll fluorescence values, representing the vegetation state and development of plants, as well as identifying unfavorable conditions determining the growth of peatland vegetation.
