 ## Introduction
 
-In the previous episodes we worked with satellite images with a fixed boundary on how they have been collected, however in many cases you would want to have an image that covers your area of interest which often does not align with boundaries of the collected images. If the phenomena you are interested in covers two images you could manually mosaic them, but sometimes you are interested in multiple images that overlapping.

 The data used in this lesson includes optical satellite images from [the Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission][sentinel-2] and topographical data from [OpenStreetMap (OSM)][osm]. These datasets are real-world open data sets that entail sufficient complexity to teach many aspects of data analysis and management. The datasets have been selected to allow participants to focus on the core ideas and skills being taught while offering the chance to encounter common challenges with geospatial data. Furthermore, we have selected datasets which are available anywhere on Earth.
 
-During this lesson we will setup an analysis pipeline which identifies scorched areas based on bands of satellite images collected after the disaster in July 2023. Next, we will calculate the [Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalized_difference_vegetation_index) to assess the vegetation cover of the areas before and after the wildfire. To investigate the affected built-up areas and main roads, we will use OSM vector data and compare them with the previously identified scorched areas.
