Mapping the Flood Extent of the Okavango Delta in R

The Okavango Delta is one of the world’s most pristine ecosystems, hosting a large diversity of animal and plant species. It represents the planet’s largest inland delta and is characterized by significant seasonal fluctuations of its flood extent. In this blog post, I will introduce you to a simple, yet effective approach to remote sense the Delta’s flood extent using MODIS satellite imagery and the floodmapr R-package.
