Detecting small changes in tropical forests from space... data and code for thesis chapter 4

<p>SAR and UAV-LiDAR data used in chapter 4 of my thesis&nbsp;<em>Detecting small changes in tropical forests from space: experiments using synthetic aperture radar.&nbsp;</em>This content has also been submitted for peer review in Frontiers in Remote Sensing.</p> <p>DEM_timeseries_3m contains phase height and coherence from TanDEM-X InSAR high-resolution spolight images, processed by Jose-Luis Bueso-Bello at DLR. NetCDF format, dimensions latitude, longitude, time.</p> <p>TDX_descending_intensity contains intensity from the same TanDEM-X time series, covering an area of the Madre de Dios region in Peru. These data were processed by Harry Carstairs using ESA&#39;s SNAP software.</p> <p>UAV_change_1m_mask is a raster showing the change in canopy height at the study site between June 2019 and July 2021, according to two UAV LiDAR campaigns, with 1m pixels, and with areas with low point density masked out.</p> <p>CODE.zip contains python scripts and notebooks used to collate the data, create change detection metrics, develop SAR models of canopy height, and produce the figures.</p> <p>Funded by European Research Council (ERC) grant to the Tropical Forest Degradation Experiment (FODEX).</p>
