The document discusses the Canasat Project, which uses remote sensing satellite images to monitor sugarcane crops in Brazil. It summarizes the project's use of satellite data to estimate sugarcane area, identify expansion and renovation, track pre-harvest burning, and analyze land use change. Spatial-temporal analysis of MODIS images from 2000-2008 showed land use changes from pasture to agriculture to sugarcane. The project is also developing models and research to better understand indirect land use change from sugarcane expansion.
Cyclone Nargis caused severe damage in Myanmar in 2008. It formed over warm waters in the Bay of Bengal and traveled west, making landfall in Myanmar. The storm caused catastrophic damage due to strong winds and heavy rainfall. Over 138,000 people were killed or left missing. The damage was exacerbated by the lack of early warning systems and destruction of coastal mangrove forests that normally help protect against storm surges.
Cyclone Nargis caused severe damage in Myanmar between April 27th and May 3rd, 2008. The cyclone made landfall in the Irrawaddy Delta and around Yangon, bringing strong winds that downed trees and debris. Satellite images from UNOSAT and NASA show the extent of damage from the air in Yangon and surrounding areas in the days following the storm.

Cyclone Nargis struck Burma on May 3, 2008, killing tens of thousands and causing widespread flooding and destruction. Satellite images showed extensive flooding across Burma's Irrawaddy delta region and around the major city of Yangon. The storm had wind speeds up to 190 kph and felled many trees, blocking roads and hampering relief efforts. The slow response from Burma's military government in allowing international aid hampered relief work for victims left homeless and without food or clean water in the aftermath of the deadly storm.
Myanmar's Politics, Economy, and GovernmentKim Ballon
Myanmar, also known as Burma, is located in Southeast Asia. It has over 60 million people and its largest city and capital is Naypyidaw. The official language is Burmese and other major languages include Shan, Karen, Kachin, Chin, Mon, and Rakhine. Myanmar has experienced decades of isolation and stagnation under military rule since a 1962 coup, though some political and economic reforms have taken place in recent years. The economy remains very weak despite natural resource wealth.
The document provides information about Burma (Myanmar) including:
- It is located in Southeast Asia and has a population of over 60 million. The capital is Nay Pyi Taw and largest city is Yangon.
- Burma was formerly ruled by Britain and gained independence in 1948. It has experienced military rule and ongoing conflicts with ethnic groups.
- The country has transitioned to a civilian government but still faces issues of poverty, corruption, and human rights abuses.
Myanmar, also known as Burma, is located in Southeast Asia between India and China. It has a population of over 50 million people and Buddhism is the dominant religion. The country has been ruled by a military junta since 1962 called the State Peace and Development Council, led by Senior General Than Shwe. Myanmar has a centrally planned, poorly performing economy with significant government controls and corruption, though it has natural resources like natural gas.
The Chernobyl disaster in 1986 was the worst man-made disaster in history. Operator errors at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine caused one of the reactors to explode, releasing massive amounts of radioactive material into the atmosphere. Over 30 people died in the initial months and thousands more developed long-term illnesses. The radioactive cloud spread over much of Europe, exposing millions of people. A permanent exclusion zone remains around the site of the accident.
Evaluating Vulnerability in the 2011 Japan Earthquake and the 2010 Haiti Eart...Tom McLean
The 2010 Haiti earthquake and the 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan highlight differences in vulnerability between the two countries. The Haiti earthquake was closer to the capital and more deadly due to high population density, lower GDP, less prepared infrastructure, and greater poverty levels in Haiti compared to Japan. The Japanese were given an earthquake warning while no warning was possible in Haiti.
Hurricane Katrina and Cyclone Nargis were both powerful storms that caused widespread damage, though Katrina affected the US and Nargis struck Burma. Katrina had maximum winds of 175 mph and a 20-foot storm surge, flooding 80% of New Orleans and killing over 1,800. Nargis was slightly deadlier, killing 84,500 in Burma due to the country's poorer infrastructure and the military junta's restrictions on aid. Both storms had the greatest impacts on vulnerable low-income populations in urban and rural areas respectively.
