One of the major challenges in monitoring forests is identifying forest degradation processes. Recent years have seen advancements in satellite remote sensing technology, which has in turn revealed changed patterns of illegal deforestation activity in the Amazon rainforest.
A recent NASA article highlighted Applied Sciences Team Principal Investigator Dr. Evan Thomas and the Drought Resilience Impact Platform (DRIP).
The Improving Resilience and Reducing Risk of Extreme Hydrological Events service provides stakeholders in the Amazon Basin region with improved historical water information and a flood forecasting ability to support greater resiliency to flood disasters.
The Forecasting Seasonal to Sub-seasonal Fire and Agricultural Risk from Drought service provides information for evaluating drought conditions at temporal and spatial resolution to predict fire vulnerability in the Amazon basin.
To sustainably manage forest landscapes, governments and decision makers need accurate and up-to-date information on the extent of the forests they manage and the ways they are changing.
