Large-scale probabilistic identification of boreal peatlands using Google Earth Engine, open-access satellite data, and machine learning

Published: Jun 16, 2019
Description: Freely available high resolution satellite imagery has made frequent, large-scale landcover mapping a reality. This publication uses Google Earth Engine, a fusion of satellite data, and machine learning to map peatland probability across the boreal region of Alberta. Results are promising in terms of accuracy and reproducibility.
