Developing a Satellite-Based Methodology to Estimate Built-up Biocapacity for use in the National Ecological Footprint and Biocapacity Accounts

Anne van Berkum from the University of Iceland will present her research that develops a satellite-based approach to estimating built-up land biocapacity. Using a 2,800-ha study area in The Hague, Netherlands, the study compares the effects of spatial resolution, classification algorithm, and segmentation technique on the results, advancing and improving methods for representing the built-up land component in biocapacity accounting.

Anne was a student in the International Ecological Footprint Learning Lab. The Lab is an international partnership based at York University through the Ecological Footprint Initiative in the Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change.
