In this thesis the possibilities to use L-band interferometric coherence for forestry applications are evaluated. Repeat-pass coherence from the Japanese JERS-1 satellite is used to study the boreal forest in six test areas located on the Central Siberian Plateau in Russia. A multi-temporal analysis...
The thesis describes investigations concerning the evaluation of ERS and JERS SAR images and repeat-pass interferometric SAR images for the retrieval of biophysical parameters in boreal forests. The availability of extensive data sets of images over several test sites located in Sweden, Finland and Siberia...
