In my proposed research project, HI-FIVE (High-Resolution Forest Coverage with InSAR & Deforestation Surveillance), I am investigating how to achieve a global and systematic observation of the world's forests and measure deforestation through Earth Observation and Machine Learning algorithms. The main goals of this project are the: - Development of novel machine learning algorithms for forest mapping with Sentinel-1 data stacks - Exploration of the potential of repeat-pass interferometry with Sentinel-1 for classification purposes - Quantification of on-going deforestation and generation of large-scale maps of changes and deforestation rate - Optimisation of the approach for detecting changes in terms of resolution in space (high-resolution maps) and time (quick response to deforestation activities).
