New Advances in Satellite Remote Sensing of Aboveground Biomass in Dense Mountain Forests
Dense mountain forests are important carbon reservoirs and biodiversity habitats. However, complex terrain and canopy occlusion make it difficult for conventional optical remote sensing to accurately capture vertical forest structure, creating considerable uncertainty in aboveground biomass estimates under challenging environmental conditions. To address this problem, a team led by researcher Wenjian Ni from the State…

From Carbon Emissions to Carbon Sinks: How Satellites Support Carbon Monitoring
As the world continues to pursue net-zero targets, carbon data is becoming an increasingly important foundation for climate governance, corporate emissions reduction, and ecosystem management. Countries need to quantify and assess greenhouse gas emissions more accurately. Companies need an ongoing understanding of emissions changes across their operations and associated facilities. Carbon markets and carbon projects…
