Study Site: Yukon, Great Slave Lake, Hudson Bay Lowlands
Purpose: Mapping wetland types in northern-latitude regions with Earth Observation (EO) data is important for several practical and scientific applications, but at the same time challenging due to the variability and dynamic nature in wetland features introduced by differences in geophysical conditions. The objective of this study was to better understand the ability of Sentinel-1 radar data, Sentinel-2 optical data and terrain derivatives derived from Copernicus digital elevation model to distinguish three main peatland types, two upland classes, and surface water, in five contrasting landscapes located in the northern parts of Alaska, Canada and Scandinavia.
Abstract: Dataset used in the publication "Multi-source mapping of peatland types using Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2 and terrain derivatives – A comparison between five high-latitude landscapes". The five sites include North Slope (Alaska), Yukon (Canada), Great Slave Lake (Canada), Hudson Bay Lowlands (Canada) and northern Sweden (Scandinavia).
This dataset includes reference data in shape-file format. It also includes a description of classes used in the classification.
Supplemental Information Summary: The dataset was originally published in DiVA and moved to SND in 2024.
