Aboveground biomass (AGB) estimation plays a crucial role in forest management and carbon emission reporting, especially for developing countries wishing to address REDD+ projects. Both passive active remote-sensing technologies can provide spatially explicit information of AGB by using limited number field samples, thus reducing the substantial budgetary cost inventories. The aim current study...

In this paper, we describe the analysis of the TerraSAR-X high-resolution spotlight mode radar data in comparison with in situ measurements, optical imagery and ALOS PALSAR L-band radar data, for the purpose of investigating surface and subsurface features associated with ancient stones at Nabta Playa, Egypt. Many of the structures observable in the field and from high-resolution satellite opti...

ALOS PALSAR data is used to analyse the flood dynamics of two semi-arid river systems and to characterise and define wetland typologies that result from infrequent and highly variable river flood regimes. The two sites, the Gwydir and the Paroo rivers, are both located within the Murray Darling Basin of eastern Australia. The methods developed have the potential to provide cost effective monito...

In this research, the potential use of 50m ALOS/PALSAR mosaic data in mapping land cover and monitoring deforestation in Riau province using its amplitude and texture is studies. By using several bands of textural information, the main land covers in the image were improved. The geo-statistical analysis indicated that there was no single window size that would adequate characterize the range of...

Crop area mapping is important for tracking agricultural production and supporting food security. Spaceborne approaches using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) now allow crop at moderate spatial temporal resolutions. Multi-frequency SAR data highly useful monitoring because backscatter response from vegetation canopies wavelength dependent. This study evaluates the utility of C-band Sentinel-1B (S...
