This is a great opportunity to work for USGS as an USGS Mendenhall Post Doctoral Fellow. The Mendenhall Post Doctoral Fellowship is very prestigious and competitive (work closely with your research advisor to have a successful proposal).

A common obstacle faced by the public in assessing conservation impacts around them is the difficulty in accessing high quality, peer-reviewed satellite-derived information or maps developed by researchers. To help alleviate this issue, the WWF presents GLOBIL (globil.panda.org) – WWF’s Global Observation and Biodiversity Information Portal, their institutional ArcGIS online account, which will post geo-spatial data for the public and internal use free of cost. They will provide a web service of your data with:

Access to first pre-qualified S2 data is available from https://scihub.esa.int

Just search for S2A* and you will find the first S2 data over North Italy between the many already existing Sentinel-1 data.

Please note that the data are pre-qualified, current limitations include:

From the NASA EO story: Political change in eastern Europe and Russia has left its mark on forests. A research team led by Peter Potapov of the University of Maryland analyzed 52,539 images collected by Landsat satellites between 1985 and 2012. “Forests generally recovered quickly,” noted Potapov. “Only 12 percent of the areas that experienced forest loss prior to 1995 had not yet recovered by 2012.”
