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 …

Satellite remote sensing and geographic information systems are emerging technologies in
geomorphology. They offer the opportunity to gain fresh insights into biophysical systems …

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 …

Estimation of forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is crucial for various technical and
scientific applications, ranging from regional carbon and bioenergy policies to sustainable …

Maps of aboveground biomass (AGB) and stand volume are of interest to determine their
magnitude and spatial distribution over forested areas, and required for input to forecasting …

Synthetic aperture radar images from multitemporal L-band JERS-1 and C-band ERS-1
satellites, a Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) time-series, and GIS coverages were used in an …

Methods for the estimation of forest growing stock volume (GSV) are a major topic of
investigation in the remote sensing community. The boreal zone contains almost 30% of …

This study evaluates the utility of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery collected by the
ERS-1 satellite for monitoring wetland vegetation communities in southwestern Florida. Two …

The extraction of forest information from SAR images is particularly complex in
Mediterranean areas, since they are characterized by high spatial fragmentation and …

Multi-temporal JERS SAR data were studied for forest biomass mapping. The study site was
located in South-eastern Finland in Ruokolahti. Pre-processing of JERS SAR data included …
