This dataset provides spatial estimates of vegetation height across the
Pacific region derived from Sentinel-2 imagery using modelling
approaches to estimate vegetation canopy height. It includes height and
confidence layers from 2020 onwards, enabling quarterly analysis of
forest structure, biomass, and ecosystem condition. The dataset supports
applications in land management, carbon monitoring, and biodiversity
assessment.

This dataset provides bathymetric estimates for optically shallow, clear
coastal waters across the Pacific region using satellite imagery. It
enables mapping of seabed depth in shallow coastal areas (typically down
to depths where the seafloor remains optically visible, up to 30 m
depth) where traditional survey data may be limited. The dataset
supports marine spatial planning, coastal management, and environmental
monitoring.
It is derived from multispectral Sentinel-2 imagery using bathymetric
inversion methods to estimate shallow water depth, and includes depth,
mean, standard deviation and observation count layers.
The Sentinel-2 mission is part of the European Union Copernicus programme for Earth observations. Sentinel-2 consists of twin satellites, Sentinel-2A (launched 23 June 2015) and Sentinel-2B (launched 7 March 2017). The two satellites have the same orbit, but 180 apart for optimal coverage and data delivery. Their combined data is used in the Digital Earth Africa Sentinel-2 product.
Together, they cover all Earth's land surfaces, large islands, inland and coastal waters every 3-5 days.
Sentinel-2 data is tiered by level of pre-processing. Level-0, Level-1A and Level-1B data contain raw data from the satellites, with little to no pre-processing. Level-1C data is surface reflectance measured at the top of the atmosphere. This is processed using the Sen2Cor algorithm to give Level-2A, the bottom-of-atmosphere reflectance (Obregon et al, 2019). Level-2A data is the most ideal for research activities as it allows further analysis without applying additional atmospheric corrections.
