Journal ArticleDOI
High-Resolution Global Maps of 21st-Century Forest Cover Change
Matthew C. Hansen,Peter Potapov,Rebecca Moore,M. Hancher,Svetlana Turubanova,Alexandra Tyukavina,David Thau,Stephen V. Stehman,Scott J. Goetz,Thomas R. Loveland,Anil Kommareddy,A. Egorov,Louise Chini,Christopher O. Justice,John R. Townshend +14 more
TL;DR: Intensive forestry practiced within subtropical forests resulted in the highest rates of forest change globally, and boreal forest loss due largely to fire and forestry was second to that in the tropics in absolute and proportional terms.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Landsat 8, a NASA and USGS collaboration, acquires global moderate-resolution measurements of the Earth's terrestrial and polar regions in the visible, near-infrared, short wave, and thermal infrared as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Enhanced Contextual Fire Detection Algorithm for MODIS
TL;DR: An improved replacement detection algorithm is presented that offers increased sensitivity to smaller, cooler fires as well as a significantly lower false alarm rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used satellite data to specify the time-varying phonological properties of FPAR, leaf area index, and canopy greenness fraction, and applied corrections to the source NDVI dataset to account for anomalies in the data time series, the effect of variations in solar zenith angle, data dropouts in cold regions where a temperature threshold procedure designed to screen for clouds also eliminated cold land surface points, and persistent cloud cover in the Tropics.
