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 |
| There is currently a strong interest to comprehend, evaluate and minimize anthropic impacts on hydric resources. It has been particularly studied the effect of removing native vegetal covering over water availability and quality. In order to estimate the effects of changing vegetal covering over hydric resources, hydrologic modeling becomes an adequate tool. However, hydrologic models need great amounts of information, which in most times are unavailable. On the other hand, data obtained through Status: Completed Start date: Wed Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
| 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 |

The intense world demand for food together with environmental issues related to the sustainable use of natural resources draw a picture of search for the maximum efficiency in agricultural productivity, which involves greater efficiency in monitoring crop areas. Analytical tools capable of encompassing sample variation and territorial reach demand high costs for their operation and for the replication of results. Remote sensing has proved a very efficient tool for mapping/monitoring agricultu ...Status: Completed Start date: Thu Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |

| The project aims at assessing methods and innovative techniques in the area of Remote Sensing and spatial data integration for detection in cultivation practices and production systems, especially integrated crop-livestock-forestry systems (ICLFs) and variations, which constitute one of the key points of the low carbon agriculture policy.

| The project aimed to assess the forms of land use and forest degradation processes in the Amazon, by reconstructing the history of degradation in three municipalities (Paragominas and Santarém – PA and Feliz Natal – MT). In these municipalities, the socio-environmental aspects of forest degradation, related to changes in land use and coverage, were analyzed (pasture, agriculture, secondary use, logging, etc.), along with data produced by research partner networks and the vast literature already ...
