Potential & challenges of polarimetric SAR interferometry techniques for forest parameter estimation in the context of the BIOMASS mission [PDF]

, 2011
World forests contain a significant amount of carbon that is, in consequence of natural and human induced deforestation and regrowth processes, affected by rapid changes and therefore difficult to quantify in terms of biomass/carbon storage.

Wood‐Derived Nanocellulose‐Biocarbon Fresnel‐Zone Plate Lenses for Sub‐THz Frequency Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Wood‐derived nanocellulose and lignin‐based biocarbon were combined to fabricate fully bio‐based Fresnel zone plate (FZP) lenses for sub‐terahertz frequencies. These sustainable FZP lenses exhibit low dielectric loss and high directivity, achieving performance comparable to that of metallic references, and remain functional under environmental stress ...
