MRV & Reporting Status & Related Space Data Needs COLOMBIA EDERSSON CABRERA M. Coordinator Forest and Carbon Monitoring System SDCG-7 Sydney, Australia March 4 th – 6 th 2015

Status of National MRV Implementation Integrating remotesensing and ground-based data for Forest monitoring. MODIS MOD 13 A ALOS PALSAR Scan. SAR Landsat 5/7/8 Rapid. Eye ALOS PALSAR (FBS-FBD) Landsat 5 -7 -8 Spot 5 -6 2

Space Data Needs. Based on actual available sensors. • Semi-annual early warning System. Coarse resolution datasets – SAR. Best L band sensors or C/X band. Wide Beam modes. – Optical. Coarse resolutions, MODIS/LISS sensors. • Annual wall-to-wall. Medium resolutions datasets. – Landsat 8. Dedicated connection for the whole catalog. Pixel by pixel co-registered. – SAR. Best L band sensors or C/X band. Fine Beam modes. At least for the Pacific region whole coverage. SDCG-4, Caltech, CA, USA 4 th-6 th September 2013

Space Data Needs. Based on actual available sensors. • Annual wall-to-wall. Medium resolutions datasets. – Other medium resolutions catalogues (SPOT 5, LISS III/IV, next CBERS. – Validation based on stratified sample of High resolution images (i. e. spot 5/6, Rapid. Eye, QB, Ikonos, Formosat). • DEM. National cover at the major resolution for pre- processing steps of Optical/SAR catalogues (SRTM, SRTM-ASTER, SDCG-4, Caltech, CA, Tan. DEM). USA 4 th-6 th September 2013

Space Data Needs. Based on actual available sensors. • Plans: – SAR Interferometric catalogues for precision change cover analysis. Actually this information is not available for the country. – SAR/Optical complete time series to assure time consistency (deforestation and degradation ). Current challenges & obstacles. – Operational pre-processing SAR algorithms. – Cloud computing. – Degradation analysis. SDCG-4, Caltech, CA, USA 4 th-6 th September 2013

Current challenges & obstacles. – Availability of RS to implement operational phase of MGD – Availability of Operational pre-processing SAR algorithms. – Availability of funding to do a “joint work” with SDCG-MGD – Data infrastructure / Cloud computing (Datacube? FAO-SDMS? , SDMS? ).
