Enhancing Biomass Mapping with Super-Resolution powered by Sentinel-1/2

We are pleased to highlight a new scientific contribution partially supported by Embed2Scale: “GSR4B: Biomass Map Super-Resolution with Sentinel-1/2 Guidance”, which was presented at ISPRS Geospatial Week 2025 in Dubai, on April 8, 2025.

This research, led by the University of Zurich team, demonstrates how existing low-resolution aboveground biomass maps can be super-resolved to 10m using Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. The method outperforms direct regression approaches, offering higher accuracy and reduced bias, particularly across biomass extremes—an important advancement for forest monitoring, carbon estimation, and environmental modelling.
