Call for proposals: Norway to grant advanced access to high resolution satellite data #HighRes4Forests

Is your organization, institution, company or consortium using satellite data to halt deforestation in the tropics?

GFOI's leading partner the Norwegian International Climate and Forest Initiative (NICFI) will grant advanced access to high-resolution satellite data to selected users aiming to help reduce and reverse tropical forest loss to contribute to a stable climate, protect biodiversity and enhance sustainable development.

Special Issue of Articles on Forest Land Use/Cover Changes in South/Southeast Asia published in “Forests” journal.

Dr. Krishna Vadrevu (NASA MSFC) along with Dr. Kasturi Kanniah (University of Technology, Malaysia), Dr. Garik Gutman (NASA HQ), and Prof. Chris Justice (University of Maryland College Park), led a special issue, “Forest Land Use Cover Changes (LUCC) and Impacts on Environment in South/Southeast Asian Countries” in the Forests journal. Nine different articles were published by different research teams from the region, including international collaborations. Forests in South/Southeast Asia (S/SEA) are undergoing rapid changes due to increased population and economic development.
