Scoping Workshop: Towards the Enhanced Transparency Framework for REDD+ MRV
Friday, 30 July, 2021
ILRI campus, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
2. Overview
• General background & preliminary plan for research activities
• Discussion on:
• Main opportunities and challenges
• Reflection on data and methods
• Land use classes
• SEPAL
• Available data sources
• Regions (subnational/national/ forest types)
• Collaboration and way forward – synergies with existing initiatives & institutes
3. Background
• PhD Robert Masolele
• Pantropical case study on spatial
and temporal deep learning
methods for deriving land-use
following deforestation using
Landsat time series
4. Methods
• Reference dataset - visual interpretations based on FAO FRA remote
sensing survey data 1990-2005 (De Sy et al, 2019)
• Dense Landsat time-series
• AI/deep learning models using spatial and temporal information to
predict land use activities driving deforestation
• Open source platform in SEPAL and GEE
• Land use: small- and large-scale cropland, pasture, mining and tree
crops
5. Way forward
• Regional model performs better than
pantropical model
• Adapt deep learning model and approach to
Ethiopian context
• Land use classes
• Method
• Forest loss 2010 – 2014 (Hansen et al, 2013)
• Land use following deforestation 2016
• Planet data (high res), Landsat & Sentinel 2
• Other open-source data for calibration and
validation
• SEPAL
Follow-up land use classes
Agriculture
Large-scale croplands
Small-scale cropland
Pasture/free grazing
Coffee crops
Mining
Infrastructure Roads
Buildings and dams
Plantation forest
Other land with tree cover
