Europe is a dynamic continent and its landscape has changed over the last 20 years. Current developments in computing power and an increase in the efficiency of geospatial computing has made it possible to analyse the archive of Landsat images that date back to the year 2000 at 30 meter resolution for the entire continent of Europe. We developed methods to harmonize, analyse and visualize changes between land cover types, create overviews of NDVI trends, and trends in predicted probabilities over the years using machine learning approaches. In this talk I will be discussing some specific examples of interpretations that these new approaches allow. We will be travelling from the forest harvesting in Sweden to the hydroelectric dams in Portugal, over mysterious changes in the Alps to the apparent reforestation of the Romanian forests. I invite everyone to join the trip through Europe and help us understand our changing surroundings at scale!
