leading to uncertainty in estimates of carbon emissions unless spatial variability is captured. Well-calibrated biomass maps can provide the information needed to reduce this uncertainty. Biomass maps present continuous spatial distribution values of forest biomass density, covering the whole Amazon where ...
Once the images are uploaded to the Internet, Google Maps users will be able to drag the street-view stickman onto the Amazon River for panoramic views of the rain forest. Google is making a habit of trekking to exotic locales to raise awareness of the valuable ecosystems. Google also has...

The SIMCOBA system calculates the annual rates of Amazon forest loss (forest loss/ha/annual) by comparing the cover maps of the last two periods and subtracting from the previous map those forests that are no longer present in the most current map (Fig. 3). This process only considers the...

Tree transpiration in the Amazon may enhance rainfall for downwind forests. Until now it has been unclear how this cascading effect plays out across the basin. Here, we calculate local forest transpiration and the subsequent trajectories of transpired wa
