Biomass
The Biomass mission will address a fundamental gap in our understanding of the land component of the Earth system, which is the status and the dynamics of Earthâs forests, as represented by the distribution of forest biomass and its changes. With accurate, frequent and global information on these forest properties at a spatial scale of 200 m, it will be possible to address a range of critical issues with far-reaching scientific and societal consequences. The Biomass mission will explore Earthâs surface for the first time at the P-band wavelength, making observations that could have a wide range of as yet unforeseen applications, such as for mapping subsurface geological features in deserts in support of palaeohydrological studies and in ice sheets, and the surface topography of areas covered by dense vegetation.
