SUMMARY OF NATURAL DISASTER RESPONSES BY THE ADVANCED LAND OBSERVING SATELLITE-2 (ALOS-2) [PDF]
The Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 (ALOS-2) was launched on May 24, 2014, and it is operating very well in space more than 4.5 years. The designed mission life is five years as nominal operational phase and the target is over seven years since ...

Monitoring Forest Loss in ALOS/PALSAR Time-Series with Superpixels
We present a flexible methodology to identify forest loss in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) L-band ALOS/PALSAR images. Instead of single pixel analysis, we generate spatial segments (i.e., superpixels) based on local image statistics to track homogeneous

Wetland Expansion Reduces CO2‐Equivalent Emissions and Strengthens the Congo Basin's Role as a Net Carbon Sink [PDF]
Congo Basin peat swamp forests are vital carbon sinks, yet climate‐driven shifts in hydrology and wetland greenhouse gas fluxes have not been assessed. Here we quantified changes in swamp forest extents, water table levels, forest productivity and wetland greenhouse gas fluxes between 2007 and 2024.

CROP SPECIES RECOGNITION AND DISCRIMINATION PADDY-RICE-GROWINGFIELDS FROM REAPED-FIELDS BY THE RADAR VEGETATION INDEX (RVI) OF ALOS-2/PALSAR2 [PDF]
The Japanese ALOS-2 satellite was launched on May 24th, 2014. It has the L-band SAR, PALSAR-2. Kim,Y. and van Zyl, J.J. proposed a kind of Radar Vegetation Index (RVI) as RVI = 8 * σ0hv / (σ0hh + σ0vv + 2* σ0hv) by L-band full-polarimetric radar data ...
