First-of-its-kind mapping technique sheds new light tropical forests

2015-05-29 19:54:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Mongabay: Scientists at the Woods Hole Research Center in Massachusetts have developed vegetation height maps for the entire tropics at very fine spatial scales. These first-of its-kind high resolution maps can help researchers estimate forest cover, monitor biodiversity and wildlife habitats, and manage and monitor timber, according to a recent press release by WHRC. The WHRC researchers, led by senior scientist Josef Kellndorfer, combined two active remote sensing systems radar and lidar to create...

New mapping project uncovers road networks in Perus primary forests

2015-05-13 23:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Mongabay: Roads spread out like multi-fingered tendrils, eating into the surrounding forests of Cordillera Azul National Park, in the Department of Loreto in Peru. What is their purpose? Are they being built legally? If so, are they remaining within the specifications of their permits, or are they overstepping their bounds? A team of researchers has taken a first, important step in answering these questions by determining the roads' locations and extent using images and data collected by satellites. The...

Satellite mapping reveals agricultural slowdown in Latin America

2015-05-13 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

ScienceDaily: For the first time, satellite mapping of Latin America shows that the continent's agricultural expansion has waned in the wake of the global economic downturn, according to UBC research. "Nearly every agricultural region across Latin America slowed down in expansion from 2007 to 2013, compared to the previous six years," says Jordan Graesser, the study's lead author. Graesser is a visiting international student at UBC's Liu Institute for Global Issues and the Institute for Resources, Environment...
