aqua-monitor | Monitoring surface water changes from space at global scale

aqua-monitor is a Python library. aqua-monitor has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Weak Copyleft License and it has low support. However aqua-monitor build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

Aqua Monitor shows how the Earth's surface water has changed during the last 30 years. See also the following Nature Climate Change paper: The website shows static map by default, visualizing surface water changes which occurred during 1985-2016 as explained in the above paper (see supplementary materials). A dynamic mode can be turned on for a more detailed analysis. In this mode, the surface water changes are computed on-the-fly using parameters provided by the user. Additionally, percentile composite images are generated for two selected years. The following Google Earth Engine script can be used to generate surface water changes on-the-fly: And the following was used to generate static maps: The results presented in the paper include a few additional clean-up steps (noise clean-up in the mountains using HAND mask, deforestation-like changes). But they were excluded during static map generation.
