GLanCE at AGU 2019

December 23, 2019

The GLanCE team had some successful project representations at the 100th anniversary annual fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in San Francisco, California, from December 9th – 13th. The meeting was attended by over 24,000 scientists ranging from the fields of Earth, oceanic, atmospheric and space sciences.

Post-doctoral researcher Dr. Konrad Turlej presented his statistical clustering-based approach for identifying representative land cover sample locations to improve training data in a poster (below, left), while project admin. Katelyn Tarrio presented an overview of project goals, methods and early results (below, right).

Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with much interest and excitement from the user community on learning from and using the clustering-based training data augmentation method as well as using GLanCE maps for various applications.

Below are citations and electronic versions of posters:
