The #GreenGrass 2.0 Project aims to enhance the resilience and long-term protection of grassland pasture systems in Germany with smart farming systems.
Check out our new StoryMap to see how #remotesensing helps to develop these sustainable pasture management strategies โก๏ธ arcg.is/1LOKDC1
A research graphic titled "From local to national scale: Earth Observation of semi-natural grasslands within the GreenGrass 2.0 project network." The background shows a cow grazing in a green pasture. The right side features two technical diagrams, illustrating spectral-temporal monitoring and intra-annual time series. Credits list Katja Janson, Scientist Jonas Alsleben, and PI Patrick Hostert.
From local fields to national scales: EOLabโs @jalsleben.bsky.social is contributing remote sensing expertise to the interdisciplinary GreenGrass 2.0 Project! ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๏ธ

Announcement for upcoming Earth Observation Lab contribution at living planet symposium 2025: Alsleben et al.: Monitoring Species-Specific Tree Dieback across Central European Temperate Forests using Sentinel-2 Time Series Session: A.02.04 Advances in Monitoring and Management of Forest Ecosystems Where: X5 - Poster Area / Zone F-J When: Friday 27.06.25 / 13:00 h
How well can we map NPV across temperate forest heterogeneity? Can we use NPV time series to reveal tree dieback? And how does dieback vary between species in Germany?

Make sure to catch the ๐.๐๐.๐๐ session (๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ก | ๐๐:๐๐-๐๐:๐๐ | ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐๐/๐๐), during which I will talk about ๐ global ๐ฐ๏ธ #Landsat and #Sentinel-2 data availability and how it shapes feasibility of long-term analyses.
See you in Vienna!
Grateful to Prof. Mia Bennett (@cryopolitics.com ,Univ. of Washington) for stirring questions at todayโs EO Lab colloquium. โPixel Politicsโ probed who owns the satellitesโand the narrativesโbehind our data. Exposureโengagementโempowerment: roadmap for critical #RemoteSensing
Meet the EnMAP-Box at the @esa.int #LivingPlanetSymposium. Come to our tutorial on Sun 22Jun, and poster on Wed 25Jun, right after the #EnMAP Mission session (C.05.05).
Starting tomorrow (13th of March)
Observations from 3 #Sentinel2 satellites! Increased revisit frequency. Terrific news!
โThis configuration will enhance the availability of Sentinel-2 data, with additional Sentinel-2 observations on the same relative orbit, occurring 2 days apart from Sentinel-2B and 1 day apart from Sentinel-2C.โ
Proud to be part of a great @eoafrica-rd.org team and an exciting project! Looking forward to the collaboration Prof. Natasha Ribeiro, @hostertp.bsky.social, @lennarteichfuss.bsky.social, Joรฃo Chibue Domingos & Pauline Hammer! More info here: eolab.geographie.hu-berlin.de/research_pro...
Congratulations to @lasseharkort.bsky.social for his first Phd chapter! The maps reveal impressive patterns of management-driven fragmentation and woody-herbaceous cover along a rainfall gradient.
A drone capture of a smallholder farming landscape. Overlaid are squares of the size of typical optical satellite missions. Openly accessible data (e.g. Landsat or Sentinel-2) is often not sufficient to capture the landscape complexity in full detail, for example when trying to delineate individual fields. Here, one Landsat pixel contains fractions of multiple fields. Commercial data come at higher spatial resolution, offering potential to discriminate indivudual landscape components.
๐ฃPNAS piece led by @philrufin.bsky.social: commercial very-high-resolution EO data is needed for monitoring SDG 2 indicators in smallholder landscapes but costs are prohibitive. A call for open access for sustainability-centered research: doi.org/10.1073/pnas... @humboldtuni.bsky.social

Commercial very-high-resolution satellite imagery is crucial for monitoring smallholder farming systems (SDG 2), but paywalls block innovation and progress.
We call for open access to these data for sustainability-centered research in @pnas.org!
