Principal components from 1992-2024 night-light images for India
There are two global Lights at night images data sets (as far as I am aware of): the #VIIRS-based (500 m) covering 2011-2024 (doi.org/10.3390/rs13...) and DMSP (1 km) but covering 1992-2024 (doi.org/10.1038/s415...). I've used both data sets to derive Principal Components: doi.org/10.5281/zeno...
Had an excellent conf at Perugia @openearthmonitor.bsky.social Global Workshop 2025. If you missed it, we video-recorded 📼 talks: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...
Topics covered: #OpenEO #CDSE #Copernicus #deforestation monitoring... 🚧 some videos (3-4) unfortunately with poorer quality
If you maybe missed the #EOSummerSchool2025 at WICC, video-recordings 📼 and lecture materials are now available: youtube.com/playlist?lis...
The event was organized in collaboration with EO Council (www.eo-council.nl), Netherlands Space Office (www.spaceoffice.nl/en/) and SURF (www.surf.nl/en/).
Had a privilege and pleasure to teach terra pkg (created by @roberthijmans.bsky.social et al.) and spatial sampling with R together with Alexandre Wadoux at the #EOSummerSchool2025 at WICC. You can follow the terra tutorial from here: differ.blog/p/processing...
