National Forest Aboveground Biomass Mapping from ICESat/GLAS Data and MODIS Imagery in China

Forest aboveground biomass (AGB) was mapped throughout China using large footprint LiDAR waveform data from the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) onboard NASA’s Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat), Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectro-radiometer (MODIS) imagery and forest inventory data. The entire land of China was divided into seven zones according to the geographic charac...

ICESat GLAS Elevation Changes and ALOS PALSAR InSAR Line-of-Sight Changes on the Continuous Permafrost Zone of the North Slope, Alaska

Measuring centimeter-scale and smaller surface changes by satellite-based systems on the periglacial terrains and permafrost zones of the northern hemisphere is an ongoing challenge. We are investigating this challenge by using data from the NASA Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (ICESat GLAS) and the JAXA Advanced Land Observing Satellite Phased Array t...

Influence of Surface Topography on ICESat/GLAS Forest Height Estimation and Waveform Shape

This study explores ICESat/GLAS waveform data in Thuringian Forest, a low mountain range located in central Germany. Lidar remote sensing has been proven to directly derive tree height as a key variable of forest structure. The GLAS signal is, however, very sensitive to surface topography because of the large footprint size. This study therefore focuses on forests in a mountainous area to asses...

ICESat/GLAS Data as a Measurement Tool for Peatland Topography and Peat Swamp Forest Biomass in Kalimantan, Indonesia

Indonesian peatlands are one of the largest near-surface pools of terrestrial organic carbon. Persistent logging, drainage and recurrent fires lead to huge emission of carbon each year. Since tropical peatlands are highly inaccessible, few measurements on peat depth and forest biomass are available. We assessed the applicability of quality filtered ICESat/GLAS (a spaceborne LiDAR system) data t...

Assessment of terrain elevation derived from satellite laser altimetry over mountainous forest areas using airborne lidar data

Gaussian decomposition has been used to extract terrain elevation from waveforms of the satellite lidar GLAS (Geoscience Laser Altimeter System), on board ICESat (Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite). The common assumption is that one of the extracted Gaussian peaks, especially the lowest one, corresponds to the ground. However, Gaussian decomposition is usually complicated due to the broa...

برآورد ارتفاع تاج‌پوشش جنگل در مناطق کوهستانی با استفاده از داده‌های لیدار فضایی ICESat-GLAS (پژوهش موردی: حوضه 46 جنگل‌‌های شمال ایران)

اندازه‌گیری ارتفاع تاج‌پوشش در جنگل مستلزم صرف زمان و هزینه زیاد است. در مقابل داده‌های لیدار سنجنده GLAS ماهواره ICESat امکان اندازه‌گیری ارتفاع را از طریق اندازه‌گیری فاصله سنجنده تا پدید یا سطح مورد دید فراهم می‌آورد. از این‌رو، هدف از این پژوهش بررسی قابلیت این داده‌ها برای برآورد ارتفاع تاج‌پوشش در جنگل‌های شمال ایران است. به‌این‌منظور یک نوار شمالی- جنوبی از داده‌های ICESat-GLAS در شرق جن...
