The U.S. Forest Service is hosting webinars to introduce an online training course on Remote Sensing for Forest Cover Change Detection. This activity comes as part of the USAID-funded SilvaCarbon initiative.
Collect Earth Online is a custom built, open-source, satellite image viewing and interpretation system developed by SERVIR, FAO, and other partners as a tool for use in projects that require land cover and/or land use data.
SERVIR-HKH has developed land cover monitoring systems with a modular architecture built on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) computational platform.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, over 2 billion people rely on forests for shelter, livelihoods, water, food, and fuel security. Forests even help renew our air supply, as they take in large amounts of carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
Users of Collect Earth Online (CEO) around the world are taking advantage of a CEO feature called the Geo-Dash Degradation Tool that allows them to monitor forest degradation, a major source of carbon emissions.
The SAR Handbook: Comprehensive Methodologies for Forest Monitoring and Biomass Estimation is the culmination of a two-year collaboration between NASA SERVIR and SilvaCarbon.
