This project aims at obtaining new results applying Information Theory tooks and techniques to the modelling of Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar - PolSAR image analysis. These results will span theoretical advances, computational assessments and applications. They are related to deriving analytic expressions for entropies and relative entropies under the multilook complex multivariat…
This proposal focuses on the understanding of the complex social process of anthropogenic occupation that contributes to large-scale deforestation in Amazonia. Biomass burning emissions associated with deforestation in the region is responsible for 74% of Brazil's greenhouse gas emissions. In order to generate a better understanding of the impacts of land use dynamics in the Amazon on glo…

The Brazilian Amazon covers an area of 5 millions square kilometers, concentrates a large portion of the biodiversity, and plays an important role for the biochemical cycles of the Earth Systems. However, this region suffers an intense process of deforestation. This fact requires a systematic data acquisition in order to evaluate the current state of this important ecosystem. In this cont…
