Copernicus is a European system for monitoring the Earth. During the hackathon, we will work with open data from two satellites: Sentinel 1 and Sentinel 2.
These satellites provide data for:
- land changes (it can map different classes of cover such as forest, crops, grassland, water surfaces and artificial covers like roads and buildings;
- water health and pollution;
- for agricultural practices, to estimate crop acreage, to provide soil moisture information and to forecast yield;
distinguishing between different crop types as well as data on numerous plant indices, such as leaf area index, leaf chlorophyll content and leaf water content;
- disaster mapping.
Challenge: create something meaningful based on Copernicus data to benefit people living in Austria!
