  5. Processes of deforestation Slashandburn Progressivedegradation

  6. Slash: start of dry season Burn: end of dry season Slash and burn

  7. Progressive degradation Barlow and Peters (2008) Selectivelogging Wood extractionandburning Furtherburningandpasture Clearcut

  8. T1 – Selectivelogging T2 – Lossofsmallertrees T3 – Loss >50% offorest T4 – Loss >90% offorest Progressive degradation

  9. Severelydegradedforest Pasture

  10. Deforestation as an event Clearcut Forest Clear cut – end of deforestation (objective and definitive)

  11. PRODES: Clear-cutdeforestationmapping ~230 scenes Landsat/year Yearly detailed estimates of clear-cut areas

  12. Is deforestation an event or a process? Clearcut Forest ? What happens between the pristine forest and the clear cut?

  13. DETER: Real -time Deforestation Monitoring 15-day alerts of newly deforested large areas

  14. Intensiveexploitation Exploração intensiva time Howfar is detection time from real-world time? Perda >50% do dossel Loss >50% DETER – alert 1 Perda >90% do dossel Loss >90% DETER – alert 2 Corte raso Clearcut DETER – final alert Floresta Floresta

  15. How hard is to use MODIS images to detect deforestation? Landsat/TM August 2007 MODIS November 2007 Alerta DETER nov-2007

  16. CheckingDETER´s data (February 2008) Clear-cut for pasture

  17. Monthly reports: May 2008 Clear-cut Intensiveimpact Moderateimpact Lowimpact Error

  18. TerraAmazon – open source software for large-scale land change monitoring 116-112 116-113 166-112 Spatial database (PostgreSQL with vectors and images) 2004-2008: 5 million polygons, 500 GB images

  19. Comparison between Segmentation A comparison of segmentation programs for high resolution remote sensing data, G. Meinel, M. Neubert, ISPRS Congress, 2004

  20. INPE’s space technology agenda “Global EO” – Brazil as global player in earth observation Bilateral agreements (China, Germany, UK) Multilateral Agreements (CEOS, GEO)

  21. CBERS as a global satellite CBERS ground stations will cover most of the Earth’s land mass between 300N and 300S

  22. “A few satellites can cover the entire globe, but there needs to be a system in place to ensure their images are readily available to everyone who needs them. Brazil has set an important precedent by making its Earth-observation data available, and the rest of the world should follow suit.”

  23. INPE´s Remote Sensing Satellites: 2007-2020 CBERS: China Brazil Earth Resources Satellite Amazônia-1: 100% Brazilian 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 CBERS-4 CBERS-6 CBERS-5 CBERS-SAR CBERS-3 CBERS-2B Amazônia-1 Amazônia-3 Amazônia-2 N.B.: CBERS-2, launched 2003, is still operational

  32. INPE´s results have worldwide impact

  33. Society is watching!

  34. International credibility helps… “Today, Brazil’s monitoring system is the envy of the world. INPE has its own remote sensing satellite, a joint effort with China, that allows it to publish yearly totals of deforested land that scientists regard as reliable.” TerraAmazon

  35. ...especiallywhen real money is involved! Until 2015, Norway will give up to US$ 1 billion to reduce deforestation in the Amazon. Norway’s contribution will depend on how successful Brazil will be in reducing deforestation. Brazilhas the largest rain forest and one of the world’s most advanced systems for surveillance of deforestation.
