Amazon Deforestation Trends

This animation begins by showing the similar sizes between the country of Brazil and the United States. It then cycles through over three decades of classification data for the entire Northern half of Brazil. We then zoom down to the town of Novo Progresso and compare its relative size to the San Francisco Bay region. Next we cycle through over three decades of transformation in the region showing how the north/south corridor of this region changed over time. Lastly, we fade in 2019 fire data to indicate how the data will continue to change into the upcoming year. ||

This data visualization begins with a wide view of Northern Brazil. It then zooms down to the region surrounding the town of Novo Progresso and compare its relative size to the San Francisco Bay region.

Lastly, we fade in 2019 fire data to indicate how the data will continue to change into the upcoming year. || The Amazon has undergone major transformations throughout the past three decades (1985 - 2018). Working closely with their Brazilian counterparts, NASA scientists have mapped the entire country of Brazil to show different kinds of land use throughout the country. This data is based on the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) through the MapBiomas project.As part of this research, we look at the general area around Novo Progresso and show how the north/south corridor in this area opened up from 1985 to 2018. 2019 fire data is also used to show controlled burns in order to clear cut forest areas for other use. ||

This data visualization begins with a wide view of Northern Brazil. It then zooms down to the region surrounding the town of Colider and compares its relative size to Northern California.

This data is based on the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) through the MapBiomas project.As part of this research, we look at the general area around the town of Ji-Paraná and show how the land use changed from 1985 to 2018. 2019 fire data is also used to show controlled burns in order to clear cut forest areas for other use. ||

This data visualization begins with a wide view of Northern Brazil. It then zooms down to the region surrounding the town of Rio Branco and compares its relative size to the San Francisco Bay area. Next we cycle through over three decades of land use transformation showing pasture expansion over time. Lastly, we fade in 2019 fire data to indicate how the data will continue to change into the upcoming year. || The Amazon has undergone major transformations throughout the past three decades (1985 - 2018).

This data visualization begins with a wide view of Northern Brazil. It then zooms down to the Uatumã Biological Reserve and compares its relative size to the San Francisco Bay area. Next we cycle through over three decades of land use transformation to show the lake formation over time as well as the increased pasture and croplands to the west of the lake. Lastly, we fade in 2019 fire data to indicate how the data will continue to change into the upcoming year. || The Amazon has undergone major transformations throughout the past three decades (1985 - 2018). Working closely with their Brazilian counterparts, NASA scientists have mapped the entire country of Brazil to show different kinds of land use throughout the country. This data is based on the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) through the MapBiomas project.As part of this, we look at the construction of the Balbina Dam and how it changed the Uatumã Biological Reserve from 1985 to 2018. 2019 fire data is also used to show controlled burns in order to clear cut forest areas for other use. ||

This data visualization begins with a wide view of Northern Brazil. It then zooms down to the region between Itaituba and Uruara and compares its relative size to the San Francisco Bay area. Next we cycle through over three decades of land use transformation showing pasture expansion over time. Lastly, we fade in 2019 fire data to indicate how the data will continue to change into the upcoming year. || The Amazon has undergone major transformations throughout the past three decades (1985 - 2018).

This data visualization begins with a wide view of Northern Brazil. While zooming in a little closer an image of the United States fades in to get the relative size of the region. Next we cycle through over three decades of transformation in the region showing land use change over time. Lastly, we fade in 2019 fire data to indicate how the data will continue to change into the upcoming year. || The Amazon has undergone major transformations throughout the past three decades (1985 - 2018).

Animation begins with a stylized bright green soccer field. Soccer fields then fall into place over a recently deforested field showing the estimated size of the newly cleared field. The camera then pulls back to reveal all the recently deforested areas (shown in bright green) around Novo Progresso from 2017 to 2018. || The Amazon has undergone major transformations throughout the past three decades (1985 - 2018). Working closely with their Brazilian counterparts, NASA scientists have mapped the entire country of Brazil to show different kinds of land use throughout the country. This new data is based on the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM).As part of this research, we look closely at the town of Novo Progresso and try to give the viewer a sense of this area's size by comparing the deforested areas to the relative size of a soccer field. ||
