🛰️ Today I’m sharing one of my favourite large-scale remote sensing experiments:
a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of MODIS composite data for the three central provinces of Canada (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba).
On this map:
- PC1 emphasizes broad ecological zones and vegetation productivity
- PC2 highlights soil and surface moisture differences
- PC3 captures subtle spectral variations — often linked to geology, wetlands, disturbance patterns, or local microclimates
Even though it looks abstract, PCA is a kind of “spectral fingerprint” of the land. It summarises thousands of square kilometres into a single visual structure that shows how the Canadian Prairies and Boreal regions differ and transition into one another.

🎉 10 years of mundialis!
We started with a belief: data should be open, transparent & meaningful. Today, we develop open software using satellite data to tackle climate change, biodiversity loss & soil degradation.
The journey continues – with open paths & new insights.

Scientists Investigate Whether Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni is the World’s Largest Natural Mirror
It's kind of wild that despite its iconic mirror effect, the Salar de Uyuni isn’t uniform in its reflections. This study highlights how climate and weather play such a big role, especially with the timing of rainfall and evaporation. Nature’s always unpredictable.
Scientists Investigate Whether Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni is the World’s Largest Natural Mirror
The Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia is renowned for its mirror-like surface, attracting tourists worldwide, especially during the wet season when it transforms into what many consider the world’s largest natural mirror. However, the claim had never been scientifically validated. A study published in the j... [More info]
