Isaac Obour

PhD Candidate at Maynooth University, Ireland using @Sentinel-1 @Deep Learning for #mapping #deforestation in the wet tropics.

[Isaac Obour @ObourIke]

Presented our work on cost-effective method to track #illegal #mining in Ghana in #NRT, providing alerts for timely interventions using #Sentinel-1 @ghana_spac69673. Thanks to the team @con20or @brianbarrett0 @Researchirel for funding @Maynoothgeog . Paper coming soon!!!

[Isaac Obour @ObourIke]

Excited to be at the @ghana_spac69673. Looking forward to learning from brilliant minds, and connecting with fellow space enthusiasts.

Just wrapped up my talk on improving #sentinel-1 data for a more accurate and reliable mining #monitoring in the topics @ESA #LPS25. Thanks @con20or and @brianbarrett0 for all feedback @Researchirel for funding @Maynoothgeog .

Very impressive first image from the #ESA P-band SAR #Biomas mission. Exciting times ahead for more extensive forest biomass estimation.

[Isaac Obour @ObourIke]

Happening now in Vienna, Austria #ESA #LPS25. Looking forward to all the exciting presentations and exhibitions.

It was a valuable and enriching experience @EarthBridgeEU #remote sensing of #forests summer school @CZU, Prague. I learned a lot and made some great connections. If you're considering attending such, I highly recommend it. More info https://t.co/Cu8Wy5oPDq

I'm pleased to share our new paper on #monitoring illegal mining using #sentinel-1 data in the wet tropics as part of my @Irish_Research funded PhD at @Maynoothgeog @Researchirel. Thanks, @con20or and @brianbarrett0 for all the feedback. link to paper https://t.co/hRbPLlhWGk.

@con20or https://t.co/4jXfcYmWGr this GitHub link has something you can look into.

Today, I presented 2 papers @igarss24 on #Sentinel-1 #SAR Backscatter ARD workflows suitable to detect mining induced deforestation stages in the tropics in #GEE. Thanks @con20or and @brianbarrett0 for feedback @IrishResearch for funding. Papers coming soon in @IEEEXplore.

[Isaac Obour @ObourIke]

Some interesting presentations on #Sentinel1 #SAR for large scale rainforest mapping @igarss24 and some useful updates @ESA_EO on the Sentinel 1C mission.

@Keiko_geo The current remote sensing tools to detect #Deforestation with #SAR depends on the type of forest. Mostly, shorter wavelength C-band #SAR struggles in the tropical dense forest areas depending on the extent of #Deforestation
