The paper describes the Vega-Les (“Les” is the Russian word meaning “forest”) information system developed in the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI) for complex monitoring of the Russian forests with satellite data. The Vega-Les information system provides online access to continuously updated long term Earth remote sensing data and derived products archives and automated data processing, analysis and synthesis online tools for wide range of remote users for forest resources monitoring and research. The paper gives information about system’s main features, available satellite data and provides examples of data analysis and processing tools.
