Global Observation of Forest and Land Cover Dynamics
Program Focus
• Coordination of Spaceborne and In-Situ Measurement of Land cover change and Fire
• Derived Data and Information Products• Data Availability and Access
• Assistance for Improved Data Utilization through Regional Science Networks (with the START Program)
• Communication between Science and Decision Makers
• Coordination with other programs –e.g. UN REDD+, GCOS ECVs, CEOS LPV, GEOGFOI
Two Active Areas- Land Cover / Change - Fire / Biomass Burning

Global Observation of Forest and Land Cover Dynamics
Land Cover Characteristics and Change• Development and refinement of
land cover data and information products
• Coarse resolution earth observations for land cover mapping
• Fine-scale land cover change
• Integration with in-situ observations
An international forum for coordination concerning land cover observations

Global Observation of Forest and Land Cover Dynamics
Fire Mapping and Monitoring• International requirements for
fire-related observations
• Development and enhanced use of fire products from existing and future satellite observing systems
• In support of fire / resource management, policy decision-making and global change research
