Embrapa Satellite Monitoring, in a partnership with Indiana University (USA), coordinated the research project "Human and Physical Dimensions of Land Use/Cover Change in Amazônia: A multi-scale synthesis”. The project ended in 2010, and was part of the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazônia (LBA). The research encompassed seven study areas and made a transversal analysis of the social and biophysical dimensions of transformations in the Amazon landscape. Rural settlements wer ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| Along with current demand for palm oil ("dendê" oil) by the industries of food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and bio-fuel, it is important to encourage the advance of researches regarding handling techniques that allow longevity, increase in cultivated areas and productivity of the Palm Oil Tree ( Elaeis guineensis Jacq.).

| The essence of precision agriculture resides in the analysis of spatial variability of production factors, especially that of the soil. This analysis' results, interpreted from the standpoint of economical gain and environmental benefits, should guide the use of resources in a localized form, with precision doses. For this purpose, many technologies are used, such as GPS, GIS, sensors, actuators, embedded systems, among others. In Brazil, the adoption of precision agriculture still is a small nu Status: Completed Start date: Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
| Agricultural Sanitary problems don't obey frontier lines, especially when there is land continuity as is the case of the borderland strip between Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia and Peru. Embrapa Satellite Monitoring and the Department of Agricultural Defense of the Ministry of Agriculture have developed a system to help agricultural defense along the borderland strip, with the main goal to contribute to the eradication of the foot and mouth disease. Precise and up-to-date knowledge on spatial distrib Status: Completed Start date: Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
| The total extension of the grasslands in Brazil still isn't quantified with precision, and even less are the degraded pastures. The demand for technologies that are able to quickly map and monitor the areas which are occupied with grasslands and their level of degradation, with precision and low costs, are ever growing. This research investigates the potential of the correlation between the data extracted from satellite images and data regarding grassland degradation obtained in field s ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |

| This project arose from the need to generate and consolidate geospatial databases, implementing an infrastructure in order to organize and make this data available to improve Embrapa's RD&I capacity. As well as to allow sharing of the data collection to other government agencies and to society, and also the establishment of a multiuser reference center for obtaining spectroradiometric measurements of targets of interest to tropical agriculture. The implementation of Embrapa's Spatial Data Infras ... Status: Completed Start date: Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |

A geomorphological mapping of the Restinga de Jurubatiba National Park, in the State of Rio de Janeiro, was proposed in this project, to assist in environmental planning, using geotechnologies and geographic information systems. The delimitation of preservation areas such as the Restinga de Jurubatiba National Park aims to maintain the environmental balance of these environments, a necessary measure due to the expansion of urban areas that suppress natural areas. The paper presented a tempora ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
