Abstract
⺠We detect annual oil palm expansion in the Peruvian Amazon at two spatial scales. ⺠We evaluate tradeoffs among satellite sensors for identifying oil palm expansion. ⺠We detect regional deforestation for large plantations with 95% accuracy. ⺠We identify land covers converted to oil palm in a focus area with 94% accuracy. ⺠Data from multiple satellite sensors are essential for oil palm detection.
