Purpose
To develop a pan-tropical baseline forest cover and associated above-ground biomass stocks data sets and maps derived from high-resolution, cloud-free radar imagery from the Japanese Advanced Land Observing Satellite. Knowledge gained from this grant will support and promote the economic internalization of benefits from carbon contained in the biomass of standing tropical forests.
