Projects (Sample)

ESA CCI+ LAKES

The overarching objective of Climate Change Initiative (CCI) Lakes is to produce and validate a consistent data set of thematic variables grouped under the Lakes Essential Climate Variable (ECV) which includes Lake Water Level (LWL), Lake Water Extent (LWE), Lake Surface Water Temperature (LSWT), Lake Water-Leaving Reflectance (LWLR), Lake Ice Cover (LIC), and Lake Ice Thickness (LIT). The project aims to process the longest period of combined satellite observations by designing and operating processing chains that contribute to a sustainable production system.

 

H2O Geomatics is involved in the development of the LIC and LIT thematic products.

TOWARDS THE RETRIEVAL OF LAKE ICE THICKNESS FROM SATELLITE ALTIMETRY MISSIONS (LIAM)

The objective of this project was to examine the impact of varied lake ice and overlying snow properties, including ice thickness, on brightness temperature and backscatter measurements, and waveforms from altimetry missions using the Snow Microwave Radiative Transfer (SMRT) model.

DEVELOPMENT OF A CROP DISEASE RISK ASSESSMENT WEB TOOL FOR THE CANADIAN PRAIRIES

Under the Innovative Solutions Canada program, this project (Phase 1 - Proof of concept) addressed a challenge articulated by the Canadian Space Agency (Challenge ID - Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Analytics for Advanced Autonomous Space Systems).

The project designed and delivered the first version of a crop disease risk model based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the prototype of a Crop Disease Risk Assessment web tool.

Project team: H2O Geomatics (Canada), Lim Geomatics (Canada)

Funding: Innovative Solutions Canada /Canadian Space Agency

Status: Completed
