ESA unveils longest-ever dataset on forest biomass As the new Biomass satellite settles into life in orbit following its launch on 29 April, ESA has released its most extensive satellite-based maps of above-ground forest carbon to date. Spanning nearl...

ESA’s new Biomass Dataset v6 delivers the longest-ever satellite-based record of above‑ground forest carbon (2007–2022), mapping trunks & branches at 100 m–50 km resolution. A game‑changer for climate & carbon modelling! #ForestBiomass #ClimateAction www.esa.int/Applications...

Drax and the Global Biomass Industry – Just Transition Wakefield

It's helpful that #CCS is NOT tied to the #subsidy extension - it creates a target date to end #BurningForests.
The problems with #ForestBiomass are many, and all well documented. See here for a straightforward explanation: justtransitionwakefield.org.uk/activities/b...
But let's summarise...

🌳 New paper! Led by Denis Valle, we present a nonparametric approach to quantify uncertainty in multistep upscaling models. We illustrate our methods for forest biomass predictions in the Brazilian Amazon. +
