SAR can effectively measure and monitor forest biomass and forest carbon at national scales, particularly in tropical regions.
This service is the outcome of a discussion held during the 2018 West Africa Regional Conference on Land Cover Land Use, at which SERVIR West Africa established the West Africa Land Cover Task Force.
This service supports Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR), is a low-cost land restoration technique used to combat poverty, hunger, and Sahara desert encroachments amongst low-income farmers by increasing ecosystem services; and resilience to climate extremes.
SERVIR-HKH has developed land cover monitoring systems with a modular architecture built on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) computational platform.
The crucial role forests play in our world cannot be underestimated. To enhance preservation and monitoring of this natural resource, SERVIR and SilvaCarbon launched a series of global workshops this year in West Africa, Eastern and Southern Africa, Hindu-Kush Himalaya, and the Lower Mekong region on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) applications.
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.
