ESA BIOMASS: Simulation and Analysis of Forest Factory RTM

The 2024 BIOMASS Summer School (21–25 October, Jena) focused on biomass and the carbon cycle, with lectures and hands-on sessions on ESA’s BIOMASS mission, SAR remote sensing, and ecosystem monitoring. Hosted by the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, it brought together experts and early-career scientists to advance methods for measuring, modeling, and understanding global biomass dynamics.

After a short introduction to forests modelling, Friedrich Bohn (Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research Leipzig) guides you through the exercise. You will learn how to create a model (in this case the model FORMIND is used) and how to parameterize it. After running the model, the output will be viewed and analyzed.
