Join the Global Forest Watch team for an interactive office hour focused on GFW’s suite of deforestation and vegetation disturbance alerts.

This session will provide an overview of the different alert types available on the platform, including GLAD, RADD, and the newly released DIST alerts. We’ll walk through the distinctions between these alert systems, demonstrate how to explore them on the GFW platform, and share use cases from around the world.

Special attention will be given to the DIST alerts, which offer higher-resolution detection of disturbance across forest and non-forest vegetation types.

Speakers include Anika Berger, Jimmy MacCarthy, and Sarah Carter from the GFW and Land & Carbon Lab teams at WRI, along with partners from the University of Maryland.
