Remote monitoring information technology for land cover ecological state in the occupied territories

Project within NRFU Competition “Science to Strengthen Defense Capabilities of Ukraine”

The project duration: 2024-2025

Supervisor: PhD. Bohdan Yailymov

Project registration number:  2023.04/0081

Project abstract

The project involves the remote monitoring information technology development for the ecological state of the land cover in the south of Ukraine (in particular, the occupied territories) using big satellite data, geospatial information, machine learning methods and cloud computing. Informative features effective for assessing the ecological state of the land cover will be determined, in particular, regarding the trend of desertification in the south of Ukraine using statistical and correlational analysis of the similarity of existing soil moisture deficit maps with heterogeneous satellite data, vegetation indices and meteorological indicators. A model for remote monitoring of the ecological state of the land cover will be developed and a web interface will be developed in the Google Earth Engine Apps for dynamic visualization of the results of ecological monitoring of the territory of southern Ukraine.
