With funding from the NASA Carbon Monitoring System, a consulting group called Applied GeoSolutions (AGS) is leading an effort to improve forest monitoring capabilities in Indonesia.
The project team, with members from Winrock, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the University of New Hampshire, Wageningen University, and the University of Virginia, is working closely with LAPAN, the Indonesian space agency, to collect and analyse LiDAR imagery from across Kalimantan.
TFF’s role in this project is defined in a contract with Winrock, one of the key project partners. TFFs role is to collect biomass data in various forest concessions where LiDAR coverage has been acquired.
