Flood Research Featured by NASA

NASA brought attention to research done by the Geospatial Analysis for Environmental Change Lab, as posted about here . This research is part of our work with NASA and the resulting publication, Can we detect more ephemeral floods with higher density harmonized Landsat Sentinel 2 data compared to Landsat 8 alone? , was accepted on January 28, 2022 in ISPRS Journal of Photogrammerty and Remote Sensing.

Time is of the Essence When Monitoring Dryland Floods

More frequent satellite observations, such as those of the Harmonized #Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) dataset, help capture flood dynamics in regions experiencing short-lived, ephemeral flooding.

Floods 🌊are deadly; satellite data can track them 🛰

Great news brief by @NASA_Landsat featuring our @NASA funded work showing that we need frequent satellite observations such as NASA’s Harmonized #Landsat - #Sentinel 2 data to quantify #floods: https://t.co/Bdb3V8o8NQ pic.twitter.com/Qu5thz3qtf
