Yesterday, the European Space Agency (ESA) launched the Biomass satellite, the first of its kind to use a special radar system to measure carbon storage in forests and map Earth's forest biomass on a ...

For decades, global efforts to combat climate change and protect biodiversity have relied on a high-tech promise: that satellite-derived maps can tell us exactly where the world's forests are.

A pioneering study reveals how archaeologists' satellite tools can be repurposed to tackle climate change. By using AI and satellite LiDAR imagery from NASA and ESA, researchers have found a faster, ...

The planet is becoming greener, but scientists warn that forests with fast-growing trees are more fragile and less resilient.
