Jude Kastens, Research Assistant Professor at the Kansas Applied Remote Sensing Program (KARS), recently spent a week in Campinas, Brazil (about 50 km northwest of São Paulo), at Embrapa, the Brazilian agricultural research agency similar to the USDA. Jude worked with researchers who had gathered data on field boundaries and management histories from over 400 fields in the state of Mato Grosso. He helped them organize and standardize their database and helped them begin work on cropland discrimination and land cover classification.
