Abstract:
The Australian National Carbon Accounting System (NCAS) program currently provides the capability for continental monitoring of land cover changes on the basis of historic Landsat imagery. A key aspect related to further developments of such a system includes making use of new technological advancements of radar remote sensing in Earth observation. For developing a globally-applicable methodology for forest mapping and biomass estimation, the potential capabilities and synergies of a combined SAR-optical processing approach are being investigated.
