New Z_GIS project MorphoSAT: Automated geomorphological mapping based on satellite data

The MorphoSAT project started at the beginning of May and is funded for a total lifetime of 24 months by the FFG within the ASAP 13 programme.
The main objective of the project team is to implement, test and validate an innovative system for operational production of objective GIS-ready, semantically-rich geomorphological maps/information. Therefore recent (near-)global consistent satellite data and products (WorldDEM, ERS-2/ENVISAT, Sentinel-2, Copernicus land services, etc.) as well as LiDAR data will be exploited and integrated. A maximized integration of experts and potential customers is envisaged in the specification and validation phases of the project.
