EO data assimilation workflow prototype

EO data assimilation workflow prototype

  1. Host Institution:
    ICRISAT | agCelerant-Senegal, Dakar, Senegal
  2. Supervisors :
    Pierre C. Sibiry Traore | Steven Ndung’u | Cedric Champenois
  3. Project Description:
    Prediction of plot-level smallholder yields at scale is expensive due inter-farm variability in management. New EO sensors hold potential to monitor crop response in small plots. Building on past STARS and NADiRA project data, this internship will prototype a remotely sensed leaf area index assimilation workflow for improved yield prediction in agCelerantTM, contributing to the CASCAID (CCAFS) and HEURISTICS (Habitus) projects.
  4. Expected outcome:
    Earth Observation helps reduce uncertainty in plot-level estimates of smallholder yields.

Applications for this internship should be submitted via the online application system, stating clearly the title of the internship.

Deadline for applications: February 28th, 2021 at 11:59 PM Central Africa Time (CAT)
