  1. Not started, What is Greater London made of?Raster analysisAnswers

    A class histogram on a 10 m land-cover raster: the shares a planning document quotes, and the reason a pixel count is not quite an area.

    Remote SensingbeginnerDifficulty: beginner140 XP~25 min5 checks

    You hand in your answers as values.

    Dataset

    • Greater London land cover 2021 (ESA WorldCover 10 m) · Raster · EPSG:4326

    What you’ll do

    • Read a categorical raster and count pixels per class
    • Express classes as shares of the valid pixels
    • State what the number is and is not

  2. Not started, How green was London on 11 July 2025?Raster analysisAnswers

    Compute NDVI from a two-band Sentinel-2 clip, handle nodata and integer types properly, and report the distribution a monitoring programme quotes.

    You hand in your answers as values.

    Dataset

    • Greater London, Sentinel-2 red and NIR, 11 July 2025 · Raster · EPSG:32630

    What you’ll do

    • Compute a band ratio index with correct types
    • Exclude nodata from every statistic
    • Summarise the index as the programme's three figures

  3. Not started, How much of each borough lies below ten metres?Raster analysisGeoJSON

    Threshold a DEM, count inside polygons, and turn pixels into square kilometres on a geographic grid — a flood-screening figure per borough.

    Spatial AnalysisintermediateDifficulty: intermediate240 XP~40 min6 checks

    You hand in a GeoJSON result.

    Datasets

    • Greater London elevation (Copernicus DEM GLO-30) · Raster · EPSG:4326
    • London boroughs · Polygon · 33 features · EPSG:4326

    What you’ll do

    • Threshold a continuous raster
    • Count the thresholded pixels per polygon
    • Convert pixels to ground area on a geographic grid

  4. Not started, Which boroughs have the least tree cover?Raster analysisGeoJSON

    Zonal statistics on a categorical raster: the share of tree-cover pixels inside each borough polygon, for a tree-planting programme's targeting.

    Remote SensingintermediateDifficulty: intermediate230 XP~40 min7 checks

    You hand in a GeoJSON result.

    Datasets

    • Greater London land cover 2021 (ESA WorldCover 10 m) · Raster · EPSG:4326
    • London boroughs · Polygon · 33 features · EPSG:4326

    What you’ll do

    • Compute zonal statistics of a categorical raster over polygons
    • Express the class as a share per zone
    • Return the polygons ready for a choropleth

  5. Not started, Mean NDVI per borough, across a projection boundaryRaster analysisGeoJSON

    Zonal statistics where the raster is in UTM and the polygons are in WGS 84: reproject the right layer, compute the index per borough, and hand back a map.

    Remote SensingadvancedDifficulty: advanced300 XP~50 min7 checks

    You hand in a GeoJSON result.

    Datasets

    • Greater London, Sentinel-2 red and NIR, 11 July 2025 · Raster · EPSG:32630
    • London boroughs · Polygon · 33 features · EPSG:4326

    What you’ll do

    • Recognise a CRS mismatch between a raster and a vector layer
    • Reproject the vector layer rather than resample the raster
    • Compute a per-zone mean of a derived index
