*analysis-service . products*

Multi-institution coalition initiative producing annual land cover and land use maps for Brazil and an expanding set of Latin American, Caribbean, and Indonesian jurisdictions. Built on the complete Landsat archive (1985 onward) processed through Google Earth Engine with per-biome random forest classifiers; Collection 10.1 released February 2026 covers Brazil at 30 m with 29 classes across 1985 to 2024. Companion alert product MapBiomas Alerta runs weekly. Coordinated by an independent scientific team led by Tasso Azevedo (general), Julia Shimbo (scientific), and Marcos Rosa (technical), with biome-specific leadership from IPAM Amazonia (Cerrado), Imazon (Amazon degradation), SOS Mata Atlantica (Atlantic Forest), and UFRGS (Pampa). INPE participates only via the Scientific Advisory Committee and is not the operator. The manufacturer FK resolves to the mapbiomas consortium company entry.
