2 2  Connecting natural sciences, engineering and economic sciences, BOKU works towards an increased knowledge of the ecologically and economically sustainable use of natural resources,
3 3  to provide a harmoniously cultivated landscape. Within BOKU, the Institute of Surveying, Remote Sensing and Land Information (IVFL) covers scientific and technical aspects of
4 4  geo-information retrieval, in particular using Earth Observation (EO) sensors and Sentinel-2 time series.

6 6  The Institute of Surveying, Remote Sensing and Land Information (IVFL) is internationally recognized as one of the leading institutes specialized in the processing and analysis of
7 -Sentinel-2 data and other EO time series. The institute developed a unique web-based processing chain for pre-processing of Sentinel-2 time series, including the extraction of relevant
8 -vegetation traits such as leaf area index (LAI), fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (fAPAR), fractional coverage, broadband albedo and canopy chlorophyll content (CCC)
9 -(https:~/~/s2.boku.eodc.eu/). Key expertise of the team includes machine learning and neural nets for image analysis, forward and inverse modeling of canopy spectral signatures for the
10 -retrieval of vegetation traits using physically-based radiative transfer models, time series analysis, extraction of land surface phenology and drought indicators. Care is taken that the derived
