Carbon loss from forest degradation exceeds that from deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon Carbon loss from forests occurs through deforestation or the degradation of existing forest. The loss of forest area in the Brazilian Amazon was higher in 2019 than following drought and an El Niño event in 2015, yet degradation drove three times more biomass loss than deforestation from 2010 to 20...

OU-Led Study Shows Improved Estimates of Tropical Forest Area and Loss in the Brazilian Amazon in 2000-2017 NORMAN—A University of Oklahoma-led study generated improved annual maps of tropical forest cover in the Brazilian Amazon in 2000-2017 and provided better characterization on the spatio-temporal dynamics of forest area, loss and gain in this region. The Amazon basin has the largest tropical forest...

Congratulations on a successful launch! OCO-3 now joins ECOSTRESS and GEDI on the International Space Station, where they will work together to tell us how plants respond to weather, heat stress, and climate from the warm tropics to the frozen tundra.

Stop by our table at the Earth Day Festival in Norman!

We recently published a new paper. Spatial, temporal, and spectral variations in albedo due to vegetation changes in China's grasslands by Lei Zheng.
