The main topic of research is an evaluation of the land cover/land use changes using Earth observation data Sentinel-2 and Landsat. The main focus of the research is on the changes of forest and agricultural land based on time series methods. The methods using Earth observation with combination of in-situ data will be developed and tested in the selected areas in Czechia and Slovakia. The main goal of the research is an application of Sentinel-2 and Landsat (combination) in the changes of forest and agricultural vegetation using time series methods. Used data and algorithms should be useful in the detection of changes occurred in the forest and arable land.
