GEE and python scripts for wetland mapping

Abstract

This repository contains Google Earth Engine (GEE) and Python code for drier-end wetland mapping in urban/peri-urban areas: The two Google Earth Engine (GEE) scripts are "S1-preproc-Wetland-LULC" and "Annual-Wetland-LULC". Both scripts generate annual and seasonal features for a single year, with the default period running from June 21st (the start of winter in the Southern Hemisphere) to June 20th of the following year (the end of autumn). Each script should be run once per year to generate its Annual Land Use/Land Cover (LULC) map. The Python script is "LULC-to-Wetlands-map" processes a series of wetland-oriented LULC maps to generate a final wetlands map. For a detailed explanation of the methodology, please refer to the associated paper: Migone, L. et al. (in press)'Mapping overlooked wetlands: Automated detection of wet meadows, ponds, and artificial wetlands in urban and peri-urban environments'. International Journal of Remote Sensing.
