Hydrology Paper of the Day @mirelagtulbure.bsky.social on how spatial scale affects satellite remote sensing of surface water extent: mapping the Upper Chattahoochee watershed using PlanetBasemap datasets; machine learning for surface water classification; accuracy and seasonality; and validation.
our work, showing that only 65%–75% of the Planet Basemap #water area was also classified by #Landsat was featured in #Planet's monthly science newsletter: tinyurl.com/37rcadvp Article here: doi.org/10.1029/2025...
This project advances the fields of forest ecohydrology by bridging the gap between in-situ observations & global satellite data using ML approaches. It's going to be an exciting collaboration across the NC State College of Natural Resources with Katie Martin and @mirelagtulbure.bsky.social
