Wetlands are very dynamic and very vulnerable environmental resources, providing a wide scale of ecosystem services but being threatened by various human activities.
The following EO challenges will be addressed in the course:
Synergic use of optical and SAR image time series for monitoring
Different aspects of wetland mapping (inventory, habitat mapping, hydrological cycles, conflicting land uses in and around wetlands, image time series processing in the Google Earth Engine environment, etc.)
Linkage to socio-economic processes: ecosystem services
