"Revolutionary NASA-ISRO Radar Mission Unveils Dynamic Forest and Wetland Perspectives"

The NASA-ISRO NISAR radar satellite mission, set to launch in early 2024, will provide detailed insights into forests and wetlands, crucial ecosystems for regulating greenhouse gases and combating climate change. By scanning Earth's land and ice surfaces every 12 days, NISAR will track changes in forest density and wetland flooding, helping researchers understand the capture and release of carbon. The data collected will improve our understanding of deforestation's impact on the carbon cycle and aid in the management of wetland ecosystems. NISAR will also monitor land motion, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the melting of glaciers and sea ice.
