Recent studies show that satellite radar data can be exploited to map forest height, 3D forest structure and their natural or anthropogenic disturbance with high spatial resolution and accuracy. Since forests assist in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, this could prove to be an important tool for assessing carbon stocks and monitoring our planet’s resources. Polarimetric InSAR – or Pol-InSAR – is a remote sensing technique based on polarimetric information in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. Read More
