🛰️ Methodology

This analysis uses real satellite data from 6 sources processed by CanopySat Forest Intelligence:

• ESA Sentinel-2 (10m) — NDVI, NDRE, NBR vegetation indices and forest cover classification

• ESA Sentinel-1 (10m) — SAR radar backscatter for forest structure assessment

• NASA Landsat 8/9 (30m) — 10-year historical vegetation trend analysis

• NASA Landsat 4/5 (30m) — 40-year historical trend since 1984

• NASA FIRMS/VIIRS (375m) — Active fire detection and annual fire pixel count

• NASA GEDI LiDAR (25m) — Canopy height measured by laser from the International Space Station

All data processed via Google Earth Engine. Analysis date: 2026-09-18.

🌍 About Pacific Northwest Forest

The Pacific Northwest temperate rainforest is one of the rarest ecosystems on Earth, characterized by Douglas fir, Sitka spruce and western red cedar. CanopySat satellite monitoring shows 60.2% forest cover with a positive recovery trend, reflecting ongoing reforestation efforts after decades of logging in Washington and Oregon states.

📍 Methodological Note

This analysis covers a 50km sample zone representative of this forest region — not the entire forest. Data comes from real satellites (ESA Sentinel-2, NASA Landsat, NASA GEDI LiDAR) and is updated periodically.
