Title :
The role of remote sensing in models of deforestation processes
Author_Institution :
Joint Res. Centre, Ispra, Italy
Abstract :
Remote sensing can be integrated into models of deforestation processes to identify deforestation hotspots at broad spatial scales, segment an area in terms of deforestation processes, estimate control variables, calibrate state variables, validate model predictions and, eventually, invert spatially-explicit human ecological models
