The Biomass satellite is designed to measure carbon stocks in tropical forests, helping scientists to understand how they work and how they are changing.

Conceived by University of Sheffield academic Professor Shaun Quegan, the satellite will create a 3D map of tropical forests after 17 months, then new maps every 9 months for the rest of the 5 ...

The satellite will create a 3D map of tropical forests after 17 months, then new (non-3D) maps every 9 months for the rest of the 5-year mission, providing insights normally hidden from human sight ...

The Biomass satellite will measure the trunks, branches and stems of the trees that populate the planet's forests. ESA says these measurements will serve as a proxy for determining carbon storage, ...

Madison County's courthouse sustained significant damage in Tropical Storm Helene. The county is proposing to build a new ...

Results showed that drone-based methods systematically produced higher ACD estimates than field methods, but the magnitude of ...

Biomass, a flagship satellite developed in the UK for the European Space Agency, is set to become the first in the world to measure, in 3D, the condition ... accurate global maps of tropical, ...

If we look back, we can see that previous generations were much more advanced than we thought. Perhaps not from a scientific, ...

Both deforestation, which releases carbon dioxide, and forest growth, which soaks up CO2 from the atmosphere, are crucial parts of climate change, it noted. The agency argued that this work explains ...

This innovative approach, akin to a CT scan of the Earth’s forests, will allow scientists to analyze slices of forest on repeated passes, building a detailed 3D picture of the woody ... even in ...
