Forest carbon offset projects are vital for promoting reforestation and preventing deforestation. However, monitoring and understanding the extent of deforestation within these projects can be challenging. Akshata Karnik, Geo-spatial Data Scientist at Renoster, has put together a tutorial utilizing Global Forest Watch (GFW) satellite data to analyze deforestation trends in forest carbon offset projects. For a more in-depth understanding of our findings with deforestation data, refer to the accompanying article here.

This resource is designed for individuals with basic Python knowledge who are eager to advance their data analysis and manipulation skills. It's broken up into three main parts: data downloading, intersecting datasets, and efficiently analyzing and extracting meaningful insights from the data.

You’ll learn how to…

• Construct and manipulate Virtual Raster Tiles (VRTs) and rasters

• Calculate class areas in rasters

• Integrate these results in your dataframe

• Write functions for data manipulation

• Create informative graphics and interactive maps
