DSI Resident Faculty member Pinki Mondal was a co-author on a study that verified the accuracy of remote sensing products that measure forest extent in Mexico. Mondal, along with other researchers from UD and an international team of collaborators, looked at forest extent estimates from seven land or tree cover remote sensing products and compared them to two independent forest inventory datasets.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Carbon Monitoring System program of the United States funded the research, and the results of the study were recently published in Environmental Research Letters.
