Thus methods to quantify changes in above-ground biomass ( AGB)\, in the form of emissions from forest degradation and removals from forest restoration are vital. Radar data has been widely used to map and q uantify changes in AGB\, however mapping these subtle changes in AGB over time is challenging. Here I discuss the use of L-band Radar data in mappin g AGB change\, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages. I will also discuss new opportunities for AGB mapping from new spaceborne sensors\, de tailing some of the methods we will be testing in the 4C project.
