On 12 May 2021 at 15:00 - 16:30 CET, the World Resources Institute (WRI) is holding a webinar - "Advances in Forest Monitoring Alert Systems".
Global Forest Watch (GFW) has recently added two new deforestation alert systems – Radar for Detecting Deforestation (RADD) alerts and new GLAD-S2 deforestation alerts – both of which offer a more detailed look at what is occurring on the ground. It is difficult to act on deforestation if we don’t know when and where it is happening. Near-real-time deforestation alerts can help fill this gap and provide critical information for further investigation and action.
Global Forest Watch (GFW) has recently added two new deforestation alert systems – Radar for Detecting Deforestation (RADD) alerts and new GLAD-S2 deforestation alerts – both of which offer a more detailed look at what is occurring on the ground. Join experts from GFW, the University of Maryland’s Global Land Analysis & Discovery (GLAD) Lab, and Wageningen University for an overview of the key forest monitoring alert systems available on GFW. During this webinar, the World Resources Institute (WRI) will be discussing RADD alerts, GLAD deforestation alerts and VIIRS fires alerts, including what they measure and how they can be used.
