During a workshop on drought monitoring and forecasting in Ninh Thuan province on July 30, 2019, participants were introduced to SERVIR-Mekong's Regional Drought and Crop Yield Information System (RDCYIS).
Forests cover approximately 30 percent of Earth's land surface and play a vital role in the global carbon cycle: forests account for around 72 percent of Earth's terrestrial carbon storage, making vegetation biomass a larger carbon store than the atmosphere.
As Thailand's second largest city, Chiang Mai has been facing the problem of haze pollution over the past decade, due to agricultural practices and rapid industrial growth associated with tourism.
At the recent global knowledge exchange of SERVIR staff from SERVIR-Amazonia and SERVIR-West Africa exchanged ideas and experiences on services for illegal mining detection.
Forest fires have been raging across Northern Thailand for the past month, endangering the lives of animals and people. During the second half of March 2020, a considerable number of fire hotspots were detected within protected forest areas across eight provinces, with the highest concentration in Chiang Mai and Mae Hong Son provinces.
The SERVIR program, launched in 2005, connects NASA, U.S. researchers, a network of development partners around the world, and companies like Google to harness the power of satellite observations — helping countries see, with greater clarity, how their environments affect well-being and safety.
Open and free data that fosters collaboration across diverse perspectives are driving principles of Digital Earth Africa (DE Africa), and they look to solutions that help achieve this across every facet of the program.
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.
The International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) has been implementing the SERVIR-HKH Initiative — one of five regional hubs of the SERVIR network — in its Regional Member Countries, prioritizing capacity building and science activities in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan.
