I am searching for ground truth data for St John’s harbor Newfoundland for a school project. I will appreciate if you can reach out with this data if available. Thank you

I think, if they are working on landcover classification, and they wants to find out what landcover is that… his aim is already been achieved by identifying the true ground. Provided he can see the feature with his naked eyes, he should simply record what he has already seen.

This can be a very challenging thing to do for ground truthing. Over the decades, surveyors have fought through treacherous terrain so it’s nothing new. I’ve seen companies completely avoid areas for surveying because they put safety standards first (which is absolutely the right thing to do). I wish I had a good answer for you. But maybe, we’ll let some of the commenters join the discussion if they have some input.
