摘要: This paper evaluates the opportunity provided by global interferometric radar datasets for monitoring deforestation, degradation and forest regrowth in tropical semi-arid environments. The describes an easy to implement method detecting spatial changes estimating their magnitude. were acquired within space-borne high resolutions missions at near-global scales thus being significant systems developed under United Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). approach presented this was tested two areas located Indonesia Australia. Forest change estimation based differences between a reference dataset February 2000 Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) TanDEM-X mission (TDM) 2011 2013. synergy SRTM TDM allowed not only identifying extent but also magnitude with respect through variations height.
