Applications
- 5.6.1 Deforestation Alerts — Near-real-time detection of forest clearance events using multispectral and SAR satellite imagery, triggering alerts within hours of canopy loss.
- 5.6.2 Forest Degradation Mapping — Continuously mapping sub-canopy damage, selective logging, fire scarring and edge effects that erode forest carbon stocks without triggering a full deforestation alert.
- 5.6.3 Reforestation Verification — Using multispectral and SAR satellite imagery to independently verify that planted trees are surviving, growing, and delivering the carbon and biodiversity outcomes claimed.
- 5.6.4 Forest Biomass Estimation — Quantifying the carbon stock stored in standing forests using satellite radar and lidar to generate sovereign, auditable biomass inventories.
- 5.6.5 Illegal Logging Detection — Identifying active illegal logging operations inside protected and concession forests by fusing satellite SAR, optical imagery and RF emissions from chainsaws and machinery.
