Gregory P. Asner,George V. N. Powell,Joseph Mascaro,David E. Knapp,John K. Clark,James Jacobson,Ty Kennedy-Bowdoin,Aravindh Balaji,Guayana Paez-Acosta,Eloy Victoria,Laura Secada,Michael Valqui,R. Flint Hughes +12 more
TL;DR: Very high-resolution monitoring reduces uncertainty in carbon emissions for REDD programs while uncovering fundamental environmental controls on forest carbon storage and their interactions with land-use change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated mapping of tropical deforestation and forest degradation: CLASlite
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a system called CLASlite, which provides desktop mapping of forest cover, deforestation and forest disturbance using advanced atmospheric correction and spectral signal processing approaches with Landsat, SPOT, and many other satellite sensors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a top-down approach for high-resolution carbon mapping in a 16.5 million ha region (> 40%) of the Colombian Amazon and found that carbon stocks are predicted by a combination of satellite-derived elevation, fractional canopy cover and terrain ruggedness.
