Use of Landsat 8 satellite data to map the growing season on Svalbard- Interpreting the results in the field RIS ID 10646

Awarded: NOK 28,235

The project will collect field vegetation phenology and biomass data to map the growing season and plant production in the Svalbard archipelago. A collection of field data used to validate satellite images will minimize errors in Landsat 8 sensor calibration. Results will be used to create a cloud-free time series of validated Landsat 8 images, which will allow us to analyse the growing season at a vegetation type level.
