ECHOSAT: Estimating Canopy Height Over Space And Time

Jan Pauls, Karsten Schrödter, Sven Ligensa +7

Forest monitoring is critical for climate change mitigation. However, existing global tree height maps provide only static snapshots and do not capture temporal forest dynamics, wh…

FORMSpoT: Revealing Fine-Scale Forest Disturbances from Nation-Wide 1.5 m Forest Canopy Height Time Series

Martin Schwartz, Fajwel Fogel, Nikola Besic +9

Current large-scale satellite-based forest disturbance monitoring systems operate at 10-30~m resolution, too coarse to detect changes at the scale of individual trees and resulting…

DUNIA: Pixel-Sized Embeddings via Cross-Modal Alignment for Earth Observation Applications

Ibrahim Fayad, Max Zimmer, Martin Schwartz +6

Significant efforts have been directed towards adapting self-supervised multimodal learning for Earth observation applications. However, most current methods produce coarse patch-s…

High-resolution canopy height map in the Landes forest (France) based on GEDI, Sentinel-1, and Sentinel-2 data with a deep learning approach

Martin Schwartz, Philippe Ciais, Catherine Ottlé +11

In intensively managed forests in Europe, where forests are divided into stands of small size and may show heterogeneity within stands, a high spatial resolution (10 - 20 meters) i…
