The CHOVE-CHUVA Earth observation platform to monitor socio-environmental dynamics in Mato Grosso, Brazil.

ABSTRACT: Remote sensing science is expected to produce spatio-temporal indicators to help societies to address major global challenges. In this regard, we have implemented the CHOVE-CHUVA web platform to monitor socio-environmental dynamics in the Brazilian Amazon state of Mato Grosso. Result of a long-term collaboration between research labs, local NGOs, and administrations, this Space for Climate Observatory initiative relies on two major pillars: (1) visualizing and computing spatio-temporal indices derived from Earth Observation data and (2) collecting citizen information as part of collaborative science. A major asset of the platform is to gather, visualize, and process data covering a wide range of themes such as land status, land use, climate, natural vegetation, agriculture, and hydrology.
