Satellites Can Reveal the 3D Structure of Forests

Using a technique called polarimetric information in Synthetic Aperture Radar (Pol-InSAR), satellites belonging to the European Space Agency (ESA) are now able to conduct a series of advanced investigations, including determining the three-dimensional structure of forests. At the same time,... [ read more >> ]
