Principal Investigator: Matthew Hansen Sponsor: Climate and Land Use Alliance Time Period: 2019 to 2020 Researchers: Svetlana Turubanova Project Description The University of Maryland’s Global Land Analysis and Discovery (GLAD) laboratory has a long history of national to global-scale forest monitoring, including estimation of land use outcomes that follow deforestation. As part of ongoing humid tropical forest monitoring efforts, GLAD is currently working on a 30+ year assessment of primary humid tropical forest extent, loss and land use outcomes for Indonesia. The proposed activities will extend this work for the 2017-2018 period. Related Publications: Parker, D., Tosiani, A., Yazid, M., Sari, I.
