  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, 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

  3. Not started, Screen Newham’s greening gridProjectRaster analysis3 steps

    Audit a real land-cover chip, deliver a measured grid file, and identify cells for field verification.

    Worked in 3 steps, each checked before the next one opens.

    1. Audit the class chip · Answers
    2. Hand over the measured grid · Dataset file
    3. Map field-verification cells · GeoJSON

    Datasets

    • Newham WorldCover 2021 class chip · Raster · EPSG:4326
    • London boroughs · Polygon · 33 features · EPSG:4326

    What you’ll do

    • Audit class counts in the clipped raster
    • Prepare a traceable borough grid as an uploaded GIS file
    • Return only cells that meet a stated greening screen
