Observations from spaceborne radar contain considerable information about vegetation
dynamics. The ability to extract this information could lead to improved soil moisture …

At the behest of NASA's Mission to Planet Earth, the National Research Council recently
conducted a review on the current status and future directions for earth science information …

As remote sensing data and methods have become increasingly complex and varied-and
increasingly reliable-so have their uses in forest management. New algorithms have been …

A model for light interaction with forest canopies is presented, based on Monte Carlo
simulation of photon transport. A hybrid representation is used to model the discontinuous …

A microwave scattering model was developed for layered vegetation based on an iterative
solution of the radiative transfer equation up to the second order to account for multiple …

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) backscatter measurements are sensitive to forest
aboveground biomass (AGB), and the observations from space can be used for mapping …

The results of mapping standing biomass for a northern forest in Maine, using NASA/JPL
AIRSAR polarimetric radar data, is presented. By examining the dependence of …

A method for regional scale mapping of aboveground forest biomass with Advanced Land
