ESD’s Jeffrey Chambers, in close cooperation with other researchers
(including ESD’s Alan Di Vittorio) and Brazil's National Institute for
Amazon Research (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazônia [INPA]),
has devised an analytical method that combines satellite images,
simulation modeling, and painstaking fieldwork to help researchers
detect forest mortality patterns and trends. This new method will
enhance understanding of the role of forests in carbon sequestration and
the impact of climate change on such disturbances.
Their work (Chambers et al., 2013) has just been published in the
most recent edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
