Project information

TerraClass - Cerrado

The TerraClass project was structured in 2010 with the aim of meeting a demand from the Brazilian Federal Government related to the classification of deforestation observed in the Legal Amazon region (project known as TerraClass - Legal Amazon). Later, the actions of the project were expanded to the Cerrado biome, and the TerraClass - Cerrado project was created. Within the TerraClass - Cerrado project, the LIAREA lab is evaluating new approaches to improve the capabilities of the project’s team to perform land use and land cover (LULC) for the biome.
