Primary Project Objective and Funding
To support the development of sustainable management
policies and regimes at the strategic and operative levels in order to
manage the Russian forest resources in an efficient and ecological way.
SIBERIA is a shared-cost action (SCA) financed through
the 4th Framework Programme of the European Commission, Environment and
Climate, Area 3.3: Center for Earth Observation, Theme 3: Space Techniques
Applied to Environmental Monitoring (Contract No. ENV4-CT97-0743-SIBERIA). SIBERIA's work is based on extensive satellite data
made available through ESA's 3rd ERS Announcement of Opportunity (Project
Number AO3.120 (SIBERIA) and NASDA's JERS initiative "Global Boreal Forest
Mapping". The satellite data were received by a mobile receiving station
of the German Remote Sensing Data Center of DLR (DFD), which was deployed
for this purpose in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia.
