Students of the USF remote sensing course completed projects using google earth engine in order to attempt classification of benthic cover. Projects included:
| project | benthic habitat or variable targeted | sat source(s) used | target ROI(s) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mostafa | primary productivity | MODIS VGPM 8d 9km | Florida Keys |
| Angelique | Coral Cover | Jobos Bay, PR | |
| Chelsea | turbidity | Sentinel2 | USVI |
