The document outlines an agenda for a 5-day data analysis workshop at CATIE Costa Rica to bring participants up to speed on sentinel landscapes and foster comparative research across teams. The workshop aims to ensure all teams are prepared to collect baseline data for Phase 2 of the FTA program through presentations, group work, and discussions on principles and approaches. Participants are encouraged to get to know others, think creatively, and actively engage through constructive discussion without distractions from electronics during sessions.
