3-D STRUCTURE OF INDIAN FORESTS – PERSPECTIVES FROM EXPERIMENTS ON THE FIRST FULLY-POLARIMETRIC TANDEM-X TOMOGRAMS

The paper focusses on utilizing freely disseminated SAR data for estimating ice-thickness and mass changes in the Himalayan terrain. The state-wise water loss estimates for the Himalayas has not been performed before. This information gives an idea as to how each state is performing in terms of water-sustainability on a global scale.
