Chove-Chuva platform
Description
The CHOVE CHUVA web platform is a tool for monitoring territorial dynamics in Mato Grosso, in the Brazilian Amazon. It is an open-access platform enabling users to consult the spatial data.
Input:
The platform utilizes satellite data from Sentinel-2, Landsat, and MODIS, along with information from meteorological stations installed in Mato Grosso and data contributed by citizens.
Output:
The tool has two purposes:
The primary objective of the tool is to make available spatio-temporal indicators testifying to the territorial dynamics observed in Mato Grosso. For a zone predefined by a user, you can produce a "dashboard" of the territorial situation from synthetic indicators on 5 major themes:
- climate (total rainfall, start and end of rain season, number or rainy days,…)
- vegetation (deforestation, forest types, degraded forest, forest fires)
- water (rivers, rivers sources, creation of water reservoirs)
- agriculture (irrigation, surface areas and crop types,…)
- land use (land cover distribution,…)
- land tenure (percentage of indigenous lands in the area, percentage of conservation unit in the area)
The second objective of the tool is to take advantage of user visits to collect citizen data that can be used for future research. Thus, the data collection consists of:
- an online survey on the perception of climate change by local actors
- the possibility given to users to locate on a satellite map types of land use advocated in the framework of the ABC plan (e.g. plots in integrated crop-livestock systems, reforestation areas)
