About this course
This course connects two things you've already learned — DINOv3's canopy height estimation and basic allometric equations — into a full forest-carbon monitoring workflow suitable for REDD+ style reporting, plus urban heat island mapping from Landsat thermal data, all with uncertainty stated honestly rather than presented as a single confident number.
What you'll learn
- Estimate above-ground biomass from DINOv3 CHMv2 canopy height using pan-tropical allometry
- Convert biomass to CO₂-equivalent for carbon accounting, and know exactly which conversion factors are used and why
- Monitor Lake Volta and other water bodies over multi-decade time spans
- Map urban heat islands from the Landsat thermal band
- Build a climate indicator dashboard suitable for government reporting
Requirements
- Foundation Models course
- Time Series Analysis and Change Detection
