  1. Ground-based Accuracy Assessments for Fire and Deforestation Events26 July 2004, BrasiliaMeeting summary

  2. Attendees • Brazilian students = 8 • from Amazon (2 undergrad) = 6 • Total students = 9 • Amazonian Inst. Participants = 12 • Universities = 4 • From Amazon = 1 • Total participants ~33 • Presentation and participation from • Embrapa, INPE, IBAMA, NASA, CEOS, GOFC/GOLD, UMd, Universidade Federal do Acre, etc.

  3. Deforestation/Burnt Area validation network

  4. Recommendations • 1. Interpret the call from the Minister of Environment for more transparency to imply that all estimates of deforestation, selective logging, and hot spots/burn areas should have explicit accuracy statements. • 2. First step for validation network is to establish protocol. Initial draft in mid-Aug (from UMd), comments from network by 1 Sept. (meeting of protocol group this week) • 3. High resolution imagery issues • Space Agencies (CEOS members) to provide access to high resolution data (ASTER, EO-1, Landsat 7 or 5, CBERS) to field site collaborators • Acquisition of high-res (~1m) satellite and airborne imagery necessary for more widespread accuracy assessment in critical areas. • 4. Integrate this effort with GOFC-GOLD and CEOS-LPV program. • 5. Integrate this effort with local users through information dissemination and training. • 6. Use producer/user collaboration to establish accuracy requirements: • Consider annual variability • What does the LBA community expect of the Prodes data set? • 7. Solicit funding for joint Amazon basin-wide ground-based validation (GPS, software, imagery, training, video conferencing and personnel)
