In this presentation, Dr. Nishan Kumar Biswas, Dr. Pukar Amatya, and Dr. Thomas Stanley from the Goddard Space Flight Center presented the data-driven Landslide Hazard Assessment (LHASA) Model for the Lower Mekong Region. The LHASA uses the SALaD (Semi-Automatic Landslide Detection) landslide mapping system and the XGBoost algorithm to derive the hazard assessment layer.

I am helping a colleague here at the NASA-SERVIR Science Coordination Office (SCO) in Huntsville, Alabama, to organize a session on Machine Learning (titled Addressing environmental challenges and sustainable development through Earth science applications utilizing Machine Learning). The session got a massive 44 abstracts. I was curious to see how many abstracts a session … CONTINUE READING
John Brandt, a Data Science Associate at the World Research Institute (WRI), discusses the methodology and implications of his paper “A global method to identify trees outside of closed-canopy forests with medium resolution satellite imagery.”

Satellite remote sensing plays an important role in mapping the location and extent of surface water. A variety of approaches are available for mapping surface water, but deep learning approaches are not commonplace as they are ’data hungry’ and require large amounts of computational resources. However, with the availability of various satellite sensors and rapid … CONTINUE READING
Air pollution from burning sugarcane is an important environmental issue in Thailand. Knowing the location and extent of sugarcane plantations would help in formulating effective strategies to reduce burning. High-resolution satellite imagery combined with deep-learning technologies can be effective to map sugarcane with high precision. However, land cover mapping using high-resolution data and computationally intensive … CONTINUE READING
