1 Russian Academy of Sciences Space Research Institute (IKI) Overview of new MODIS and Landsat data derived products to characterise land cover and change over Russia Sergey BARTALEV 15 Aprile 2013, GOFC-GOLD Symposium, Wageningen

2 LAGMA : Locally Adaptive Global Mapping Algorithm Local spectral-temporal signatures of classes Spectral-temporal MODIS data composites Covariation of metrics Average of metrics Number of samples Metrics for the pixel Maximum likelihood classifier Probabilities for classes

3 TerraNorte RLC Map The land cover map for Russia based on MODIS 250 m

4 Automated technology for annual land cover mapping based on MODIS data The homogenous time-series of land cover maps of Russia has been developed for the period of years

5 Forest change detection using the land cover maps time-series

6 % Forest area dynamics for Russia over period of years ,6 0,4 0,2 0,0-0,2-0,4-0,6-0,8-1,0-1,2-1,4-1,6-1, The forest area estimated using MODIS data derived land cover maps. годы The annual forest area change (%) is as compared to year 2000.

18 Landsat-TM/ETM+ composite for year 2011 The automatic data processing chain allows yearly production of the Landsat-TM/ETM seasonal composites

19 Burnt area mapping technology using Landsat-TM data is in operation (> 3500 burs were mapped in Russia for 2011 fire season)

20 Combined SRBA&HRBA burnt area map: Russian Federation, fire season of year 2011 The map includes burnt area polygons mapped with both MODIS (SRBA product) and Landsat-TM/ETM+ (HRBA product) data

21 Forest burn severity map of Russia for year 2012

22 Forest burn severity assessment: Russia, fire season 2012 Totally 7012 th ha or 64% of forest area is seriously damaged (high severity and lost forest) in Russia during fire season 2012

23 Web-based Vegetation Monitoring Service VEGA: vega.smislab.ru VEGA (in operation since May 2011) is developed by the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences to provide vegetation status analysis tools based on multi-annual and near-real-time EO data
