Applied investigations

Field Labs

Work from an explicit scientific question through processing, quality control, interpretation and a portfolio-ready result. Each lab keeps its own dataset, evidence boundary and non-claims.

  1. Field Lab06

    Satellite change detection

    Track recovery after a fire

    Build a reproducible Sentinel-2 investigation of disturbance and multi-year spectral vegetation recovery after the 2021 northern Evia wildfire.

    • Sentinel-2
    • NBR / dNBR
    • Google Earth Engine
    • Recovery uncertainty

  2. Field Lab07

    UAV remote sensing

    Plan, fly and process an eBee mission

    Follow a chronological 22-step tutorial from ecological mission planning and field preparation through eMotion, PPK/GCP, Pix4D products, final QA and an analysis-ready handoff.

    • eBee X
    • Sequoia + Duet T
    • PPK / GCP
    • Pix4D

  3. Field Lab08

    Synthetic aperture radar

    Map wetland inundation with Sentinel-1

    Build a comparable SAR scene stack, preserve measurement scale, validate a candidate-inundation rule and communicate uncertainty without treating dark pixels as proof.

    • Sentinel-1
    • VV / VH
    • Backscatter
    • Validation
    • Uncertainty

  4. Field Lab09

    Three-dimensional remote sensing

    Build defensible LiDAR canopy structure

    Audit point density and classification, establish terrain, normalize height, derive structural metrics and validate the final quantity at compatible support.

    • LAS / LAZ
    • Point QA
    • DTM / CHM
    • Height metrics
    • Vertical accuracy

  5. Field Lab10

    Imaging spectroscopy

    Build a hyperspectral evidence pipeline

    Audit cube metadata and bad bands, connect spectra to compatible reference samples, prevent leakage and publish predictions with uncertainty and applicability.

    • Spectral cube
    • Bad-band QA
    • Mixed pixels
    • Fold-safe features
    • Applicability

  6. Advanced lessonTIR

    Thermal infrared remote sensing

    From emitted radiance to a defensible temperature claim

    Separate radiance, brightness temperature and land-surface temperature; audit emissivity, atmosphere, scale, QA and support before making an ecological interpretation.

    • Thermal radiance
    • Emissivity
    • Landsat ST
    • ECOSTRESS
    • Validation
