Description
Summary:This study uses the collection of Landsat images to analyze the recurrence of flooded areas in the Porto Alegre region, highlighting its entire temporal scale from 1984 to the present, analyzing the images with the highest index. Additionally, the use of Sentinel-1 data, despite its smaller temporal scale, is explored to complement the analysis of flooded areas. Using qualitative, quantitative and exploratory methodology, the research demonstrates that the joint use of technologies such as Landsat and Sentinel-1 significantly increases the potential for analysis and monitoring, providing a robust data set, which contributes to decision-making in the context of disaster mitigation and urban planning in vulnerable areas such as Porto Alegre.
