Project leader: PhD Eng. Agata Hościło
The main goal of the InCoNaDa project is to improve the user uptake of land cover and land use information derived from the integration of Copernicus Land Monitoring Services (CLMS) and national databases. This will be achieved through: a) verification of the EAGLE concept based on interlinking Land Cover (LC) and Land Use (LU) information and other landscape characteristics (CH) available at the country level into one model called “linked data”, b) development of user-oriented a web-based application allowing to generate land use information adjusted to the used needs, c) assessment of usefulness of enhanced LCLU database and CLMS products for decision makers, reporting obligations in natural resources monitoring, urban and spatial planning, agricultural management and reporting greenhouse gases emissions and removals from land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF) in Poland and Norway.
The proposed project will address the following objectives:
- to determine the most accurate land cover and land cover change maps based on a time series of Sentinel-2 data using machine learning approaches;
- to verify the EAGLE concept by developing and testing an approach for integration and population of land use information and delivering the enhanced LCLU database;
- to design and develop web-based application enabling to query the enhanced LCLU database as well as to integrate and extract statistics from the CLMS adjusted to the user needs;
- to examine if and how the enhanced LCLU database and CLMS can be applied in the urban and spatial planning, agricultural management and environmental monitoring; reporting GHG emissions and removals from LULUCF.
