Foundation-Model Earth Representations Enable Regional-Scale Forest Aboveground Biomass Monitoring Across the Northeastern United States

arXiv:2607. 27217v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Forest aboveground biomass (AGB) is a critical indicator of ecosystem productivity and terrestrial carbon storage, yet regional carbon monitoring remains constrained by the sparse spatial and temporal availability of field inventories and airborne structural measurements.

Spatially explicit feature importance for building height estimation using research-access high-resolution SAR and optical sensors

arXiv:2608. 17822v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate building height information at the individual footprint scale is essential for material stock accounting and post-disaster damage assessments yet remains difficult to obtain at city scale in the Global South where airborne LiDAR coverage is rare and commercial very high-resolution imagery is cost-prohibitive or unavailable.

Spatially explicit feature importance for building height estimation using research-access high-resolution SAR and optical sensors

Accurate building height information at the individual footprint scale is essential for material stock accounting and post-disaster damage assessments yet remains difficult to obtain at city scale in the Global South where airborne LiDAR coverage is rare and commercial very high-resolution imagery is cost-prohibitive or unavailable. While recent works have demonstrated building height estimation using freely available Sentinel imagery, the resolution ceiling of resulting products is still coarse for material stock analysis.
