| 2 | The [[University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences>>https://www.boku.ac.at/en/]] (BOKU), the //Alma Mater Viridis//, perceives itself as a teaching and research center for renewable resources, as a basis for human life. | ||
| |
9.1 | 3 | Connecting natural sciences, engineering and economic sciences, BOKU works towards an increased knowledge of the ecologically and economically sustainable use of natural resources, |
| 4 | to provide a harmoniously cultivated landscape. Within BOKU, the Institute of Surveying, Remote Sensing and Land Information (IVFL) covers scientific and technical aspects of | ||
| 5 | geo-information retrieval, in particular using Earth Observation (EO) sensors and Sentinel-2 time series. | ||

9.1 | 7 | 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 |
| 8 | 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 | ||
| 9 | vegetation traits such as leaf area index (LAI), fraction of absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (fAPAR), fractional coverage, broadband albedo and canopy chlorophyll content (CCC) | ||
| 10 | (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 | ||
| 11 | 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 | ||
| |
11.1 | 12 | information products that can be readily uptaken by non-EO experts, for example in the field of precision farming (e.g. [[EO4WATER>>https://eo4water.com/]]) or for large scale drought monitoring and |
| |
9.1 | 13 | disbursement of disaster contingency funds (DCFs) (e.g. https:~/~/ivfl-arc.boku.ac.at/kenya/map/). |
