1. 3/21/11 Land cover / change Cover themes – Forests – Agriculture – Fire – Water – Land cover Cover dynamics – Phenological change – Disturbance – Specific from-to conversions

Global – Global biomass burning emissions of organic and black carbon from MODIS fire radiative power – Vermote et al. – MODIS global burned area product – Boschetti et al.

6. 3/21/11 Miscellaneous MODIS 500m land cover – Friedl et al. 250 meter global land/water mask from MODIS – Carroll et al. Delivery and visualization of geospatial data through OGC standards-based WebGIS System – Santhana-Vannan et al.

7. 3/21/11 Summary Still the MODIS Vegetation Workshop, with a few exceptions Quality of MODIS standard products clearly exhibited MODIS time-series (2000 to present) being fully exploited Sliding scale of change themes Evolution of fire products Some things for next meeting: – More large area, hopefully global, high spatial resolution products – Greater use of data fusion approaches to address key questions, for example area change and biomass quantification – From-to change analyses beyond forests – Improved validation of global products
