Satellite laser altimetry measures accurate elevations of the Earth's surface and precise
changes with time, monitoring key climate variables. These observations have transformed …

Up-to-date canopy height model (CHM) estimates are of key importance for forest resource
monitoring and disturbance analysis. In this article, we present a study on the potential of …

Forests are some of the major ecosystems that help in mitigating the effects of climate
change. Understanding the relation between the surface temperatures of different vegetation …

Operational canopy height mapping at high resolution remains a challenging task at country-
level. Most of the existing state-of-the-art inversion methods propose physically-based …

Early spaceborne laser altimetry mission development starts in pre-phase A design, where
diverse ideas are evaluated against mission science requirements. A key challenge is …

Knowledge about the vertical structure of forests, such as forest height, above-ground
biomass (AGB), and the vertical biomass distribution is important for understanding carbon …

To address the challenge of retrieving sub-canopy topography using single-baseline single-
polarization TanDEM-X InSAR data, we propose a novel InSAR processing framework. Our …

TanDEM-X interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data have demonstrated
promising advantages and potential in recent years for the inversion of forest height. InSAR …

Our ability to infer the impact of land use changes such as deforestation and reforestation on
concentrations of atmospheric CO 2 rests upon accurate and spatially resolved estimates of …

This article addresses the implementation of an above ground biomass (AGB) estimation
scheme relying on the height-to-biomass allometry at stand level in the context of the …
