Research on remote land change is focused on providing relevant and accurate information on factors impacting the function of human and natural land system. Recently, a Landsat-based humid tropical forest disturbance alert was implemented for Peru, the Republic of the Congo and Kalimantan, Indonesia. The three study areas are representative of different stages of the forest land use transition, featuring a variety of disturbance dynamics including logging, smallholder agriculture, and agroindustrial development.
Research was conducted by individuals from the University of Maryland: Matthew Hansen, Alexander Krylov, Alexandra Tyukavina, Peter Potapov, Svetlana Turubanova, and colleagues: Bryan Zutta, Suspense Ifo, Belinda Margono, Fred Stolle, and Rebecca Moore.
Full results on the outcome of these studies are available here.
