Google now provides free access to Landsat satellite imagery and tools to help analyze and interpret these images to detect changes to natural resources such as deforestation. The Wageningen team currently contributes to testing the Earth Engine API. Additional radar satellite analysis techniques are tested as clouds and haze limit the use of landsat-type sensors in wet tropical regions.
