Copernicus Master 2014’s edition received 171 submissions from 43 countries for 9 different challenges.

Coastline Watch aims to monitor the coast line using remote sensing services based on Open Data (Landsat, Sentinel-2) and determine impact of changes with 3D surface models obtained from UAV data acquisition.

The project was proposed by Nuno Duro (Bluecover), Gil Gonçalves (INESCC, University of Coimbra) and Vanda Brotas (MARE, FCUL – University of Lisbon), with the review contribution of some Portuguese organizations namely DGT, IH and APA."
