East-West Center Receives $750,000 NASA Grant to Study Changes in Mountain Forests of Nepal

HONOLULU (Jan. 15, 2015) -- The East-West Center has received a $750,000 grant from the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to study changes in the mountain forests of Nepal over the past 25 years. Led by EWC Senior Fellow Jefferson Fox, the project will chart the previously unmapped mountain forests of Nepal’s Middle Hill region using data drawn from Landsat satellite imagery between 2000 and the present.

Investigators seek to document a suspected “forest transition” in Nepal, a country whose mountain forests have sustained the lives of much of its population for centuries. The forest transition refers to the recovery of trees and other plant growth in a previously deforested area.
