Advancing validation upscaling methods and algorithms for spaceborne reflectance products of Canadian peatlands — This project focuses on developing advanced methodologies and artificial intelligence algorithms to validate satellite systems such as EnMAP, Sentinel-2, and PlanetScope, crucial for monitoring Canada's vast peatlands. By leveraging ground-based measurements and hyperspectral drone technology at sites like the Mer Bleue Peatland Observatory, the project aims to enhance Canada's capability to monitor and understand peatland carbon storage and its implications for climate change mitigation.
