Open-Earth-Monitor Global Workshop 2026

Understanding where and why forest restoration succeeds remains a key challenge for global monitoring and policy. This project investigates how satellite-based indicators of vegetation structure and function can capture restoration outcomes across spatial scales. We combine global remote sensing data with contextual information on climate, landscape configuration, and human pressure to identify drivers of restoration success and compare intervention strategies. The results aim to inform scalable, operational approaches for monitoring forest recovery and supporting evidence-based restoration efforts worldwide.
