Sentinel 2 biodiversity

Abstract

This tutorial will guide you on getting Sentinel 2 data and processing them in order to calculate and visualize biodiversity indicators. This workflow made of 6 tools will allow you to explore Sentinel 2 data in the view of making biodiversity analyses.

About This Material

This is a Hands-on Tutorial from the GTN which is usable either for individual self-study, or as a teaching material in a classroom.

Questions this will address

  • How to get spectral and biodiversity indicators from remote sensing data ?
