ESA Copernicus Sentinel-1 SAR used in Flood Detection Maps.

NDVI-processed imagery using Landsat 8 OLI data from June 1 to November 31, 2021. Showing Punakha, Bhutan, vegetative areas are represented by green while black depicts non-vegetative areas. Bhutan is located in the Himalayas with altitude ranging from 550 ft. to 23,000 ft., resulting in vast diversity of both ecosystem and agricultural products. Examining vegetation area help in developing a crop mask and remotely sensed data collection protocol for rice in Bhutan.
