Environmental Monitoring

Proposed Challenge

• Monitoring soil properties using satellite Data
• The environmental Monitoring challenge is to have Soil Spectral libraries for the Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) and also to generate soil maps using machine learning based on satellite data.
• Addressing these challenges should enable us to have an efficient and effective system for monitoring and controlling soil quality.

Awarded Team

Khalifa University & Tel Aviv University

Proposed Solution

“Monitoring seasonal changes of organic matter content and related soil properties in agricultural fields by using Venμs satellite sensor under global climate change”

List of Expected Deliverables

• Combined soil spectral library.
• Transfer function from laboratory to field.
• Spectral models to assess soil organic matter and other soil properties.
• A protocol on how to acquire, process and calibrate satellite Venμs data for soil mapping.
• Soil maps based on satellite Venμs data, soil properties maps.
