EOSC Gravity Subgrant
RETROCHANGE
RETROCHANGE contributes to the European Open Science Cloud by transforming forestry, remote sensing, and geoinformatics expertise into EOSC SK use cases.
Project Focus
Objectives
RETROCHANGE combines the strategic objectives of EOSC Gravity with its own research focus on historical landscape and forest change. As a Gravity subgrant, the project will support the development of EOSC SK by preparing domain-specific use cases that demonstrate how forestry, remote sensing and geospatial data can be documented, published and reused within the EOSC framework. At the same time, RETROCHANGE will develop its own use cases based on historical remote sensing archives and GIS workflows, with the aim of producing FAIR-oriented data outputs, methodological examples and research evidence for long-term environmental monitoring.
Use Cases
Practical examples supporting the development of EOSC-oriented research data services in Slovakia.
GIS Data
Use of archival remote sensing images, GIS layers, and related spatial datasets.
FAIR-oriented outputs
Preparation of documented, reusable, and understandable data products, workflows, and methodological examples.
Why it Matters
Project outputs
RETROCHANGE provides access to historical imagery from 1975 for the High Tatras and Poloniny–Bieszczady, together with an interactive web map, geospatial services and four documented scientific use cases. Explore the outputs below.
