Background
Objectives: We aim at the communicate the forest resource monitoring, disturbance detection and ecological project benefits evaluation using geo-spatial technologies.

Content: This side-event will present the recent progress of forest monitoring in China and UK. The topics include forest mapping, parameters estimation (including height, volume density and biomass) and disturbance detection. The satellites cover Landsat, Sentinel and GF series. The cutting-edge algorithms and operational applications will be introduced. Discussions will focus on the development of annual mapping by the fusion of multiple data sources and active-passive remote sensing technologies.
