Introduction The polar regions are experiencing rapid and dramatic changes. Often viewed as early indicators of global climate change, changes in the cryosphere have far-reaching consequences for ecosystems, sea level, weather patterns, and human activities. Quantifying these changes and understanding their drivers and impacts remains a pressing scientific and societal challenge. The ESA Polar Science Cluster collocation …

Background Biomass represents an innovative leap in Earth observation. As the seventh mission in ESA’s Earth Explorer Programme, it breaks new ground as the first satellite to deliver P-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) measurements from space. By utilizing a fully polarimetric system and collecting tomographic data, the mission provides a unique capability to penetrate dense …
