TropForest 2010
Jan-2010



Covers tropical forest areas in South East Asia and South America. The data were acquired by the ALOS, GEOSAT-1 and KOMPSAT-2 satellites with the goal of creating a harmonised geo-database of ready-to-use satellite imagery to support 2010 global forest assessments performed by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission and the FAO. Access is provided through the ESA TPM scheme. Read more

GEOSAT-1 & 2 (formerly Deimos-1/2) are Earth-imaging microsatellites built for Elecnor Deimos of Spain. It is now owned and operated by GEOSAT Satelites. GEOSAT-1 was part of a group of satellites collectively known as the Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC) and was the first private European Earth observation satellite launched. The collection is composed by the copy of products requested by ESA supported projects over their areas of interest around the world. The dataset regularly grows as ESA collects new products.
