Forest loss across the Amazon

Map of the Amazon rainforest showing the observed forest loss visible in red. The project uses a space-time data cube design (also known as StatCubes), where statistical information relevant to identify deforestation is extracted at each point in the radar time-series. With this approach, the project demonstrates the use of Sentinel-1 data to create a dynamic deforestation analysis over the Amazon basin.

A specific section of the rainforest has been identified as ‘Tile 20LMQ’. Click here to see the forest loss related to this specific tile.
