Arizona State University, Center for Global Discovery and Conservation Science

The Center for Global Discovery and Conservation Science at the University of Arizona leads spatially explicit scientific and technological research focused on mitigating and adapting to global environmental change. The overarching project goal is to further refine the use of high-resolution ecological remote sensing and modeling methods to map and monitor watersheds in tropical regions in support of conservation efforts and outcome assessment. This work advances scientific knowledge about tropical regions and develops quantitative baseline information on landscape and ecosystem processes for use in future assessments of conservation and sustainable development outcomes.
