Improving ICESat‐2‐based boreal forest height estimation by a multivariate sample quality control approach

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Boreal forest heights are associated with global carbon stocks and energy budgets. The launch of the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) onboard the NASA's Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite (ICESat‐2) enables canopy vertical ...

Aboveground biomass mapping by integrating ICESat-2, SENTINEL-1, SENTINEL-2, ALOS2/PALSAR2, and topographic information in Mediterranean forests

GIScience & Remote Sensing, 2022
The Ice, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) provides an extraordinary opportunity to support global large-scale forest carbon mapping, but further research is needed in order to obtain wall-to-wall forest aboveground biomass (AGB) maps with

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

, 2011
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.

Ensuring globally the TanDEM-X height accuracy: Analysis of the reference data sets ICESat, SRTM and KGPS-tracks [PDF]

, 2009
The TanDEM-X mission will derive a global digital elevation model (DEM) with satellite SAR interferometry. Height references play an important role to ensure the required height accuracy of 10m absolute and 2m relative for 90% of the data.

Comparing elevation and backscatter retrievals from CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2 over Arctic summer sea ice [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2023
The CryoSat-2 radar altimeter and ICESat-2 laser altimeter can provide complementary measurements of the freeboard and thickness of Arctic sea ice. However, both sensors face significant challenges for accurately measuring the ice freeboard when the sea ...

Increased Ice Thinning over Svalbard measured by ICESat/ICESat-2 Laser Altimetry [PDF]

, 2021
We used spaceborne laser altimetry data from the ICESat and ICESat-2 missions to obtain ice elevation and mass change rates between 2003-2008 and 2019 over Svalbard. Elevation changes are derived at orbit crossover locations throughout the study area for
