The European Space Agency (ESA) has released the first images captured by its Biomass satellite, designed to map Earth’s forests in unprecedented detail. The satellite uses radar technology to penetrate forest canopies and measure tree biomass—key data for understanding carbon storage and deforestation.
Scientists hailed the initial images as a breakthrough for climate monitoring. The Biomass satellite is expected to play a crucial role in global climate models by providing consistent, high-resolution data on forest health, particularly in remote and tropical areas.
