We are excited to announce the expansion of our Fléttan family with the addition of two brilliant minds, Eromanga Adermann and Daniel Fernández, to our working group. Their expertise brings fresh perspectives and innovative ideas to our mission. Eromanga, with her extensive experience in machine learning and data analytics, will…Read More

Soil Erosion map for Iceland is completed

Our dedicated team at Fléttan is thrilled to announce the completion of a comprehensive soil erosion map for Iceland, now available on Ellipsis Drive. This significant milestone represents a leap in environmental monitoring, utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms and remote sensing data from the Sentinel-2 satellite. Our map provides crucial…Read More

Journal publication

Our Research & Publications Team, led by Eromanga Adermann and Daniel Fernández, has published an article in the remote sensing journal MDPI titled ‘Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Algorithms for Soil Erosion Modelling Based on Remotely Sensed Data’. The study shows the effectiveness of using remote sensing based methods for…Read More

Fléttan enters Beta Testing phase with Landgræðslan

We are set to enter the beta testing phase in collaboration with Landgræðslan, the Soil Conservation Service of Iceland. This phase is crucial for validating our predictive models and enhancing the accuracy of our soil erosion assessments. It represents a significant step towards practical application and adaptation of our innovative…Read More
