Abstract

The Earth Observation for Sustainable Development of Forests (EOSD) project, a partnership between the Canadian Forest Service (CFS) and the Canadian Space Agency, is aimed at establishing a national forest quantification and monitoring system using circa 2000 LANDSAT satellite images. Canada will use EOSD products to meet its national and international commitments related to climate change and sustainable forest management.
