Global mangrove forest degradation hotspots Grant uri icon

abstract

  • We propose to identify and monitor global hotspots of mangrove forest change and degradation using a suite of remote sensing instruments that include radar, lidar and optical systems. This project uses existing global products from which extent of land use change are quantified and new high resolution remote sensing measurements to quantify degradation and identify proximate drivers of change.
