LCLUC Scientists map the historical Land Cover and Land use changes using the Corona Imageires. Imagery from the Cold War’s Corona satellites is helping scientists fill in how we have changed our planet in the past half-century. To map a landscape’s history, foresters long depended on maps and traditional tree inventories that could be riddled with inaccuracies.

Commercial Satellites Shed Light on Small-Scale Agriculture - NASA Earth Data

A recent article in NASA EarthData highlights studies of small-scale agriculture mapping using commercial satellite data by LCLUC PIs Matthew Hansen, Christopher Neigh, and Jessica McCarty and their teams. Small farms play a large role in food security, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. In fact, small farms (measuring less than 2 hectares or 20,000 square meters) produce about one-third of the world's food supply. But the size of these farms can make them difficult to map using coarse or moderate resolution satellite imagery.

NASA LCLUC South/Southeast Asia Research Initiative (SARI) Contribution – 2 Volume Books on Biomass Burning in South/Southeast Asia, CRC Press (2021)

Biomass burning is one of the most important sources of greenhouse gas emissions and aerosols in South and Southeast Asia and significantly impacts other countries through transboundary air pollution. With contributions from leading scientists, the 2-volumes offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the mapping and monitoring of fires, impacts of biomass burning on the land resources, climate, and the atmosphere, including policy aspects.
