The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced on March 8 a five-year project that will use satellite imagery to address environment and development challenges across the Amazon Basin.
A blog posted by Spatial Informatics Group (SIG) describes ways that the new SERVIR-Amazonia hub will bring geospatial information to assist with sustainable development problems and natural resource protection for the Amazonia region.
This flood monitoring service utilizes Google Earth Engine and the available LandSAT and SENTINEL data collections, spanning from 2014 to the present date, to determine water surface areas within specific date ranges.
Monitoring of gold mining in the Brazilian Amazon is a service that aims to produce near real-time information on mining deforestation and activity in the Tapajos basin, State of Para.
While mangroves ordinarily provide multiple benefits to Guyana's coast, they are currently under threat due to rising sea levels, deforestation, and coastal erosion.
SERVIR AST member Doug Morton discusses the upcoming fire season in Amazonia in a new NASA article.
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.
In line with its service co-development approach, SERVIR-Amazonia is bringing diverse Brazilian stakeholders together to identify local development problems and identify solutions in form of tools, data sets, training resources and capacity building activities that use satellite data, Earth science, and geospatial technologies.
