This booklet presents results obtained within the ALOS Kyoto & Carbon (K&C) Initiative. The Initiative builds on the experience gained from the JERS-1 Global Rain Forest and Boreal Forest Mapping (GRFM/GBFM) projects, in which SAR data from the JERS-1 satellite were used to generate image mosaics over the entire tropical and boreal zones of Earth. While the GRFM/GBFM projects were undertaken already in the mid 1990's, they demonstrated the utility of L-band SAR data for mapping and monitoring forest and wetland areas and the importance of providing spatially and temporally consistent satellite acquisitions for regional-scale monitoring and surveillance. The ALOS K&C Initiative is set out to suppor t data and information needs raised by international environmental Conventions, Carbon cycle science and Conservation of the environment. The project is led by JAXA EORC and supported by an international Science Team consisting of some 25 research groups from 14 countries. The objective of the ALOS K&C Initiative is to develop regional-scale applications and thematic products derived primarily from ALOS PALSAR data that can be used to meet the specific information requirements relating to Conventions, Carbon and Conservation. The Initiative is undertaken within the context of three themes which relate to three specific global biomes; Forests, Wetlands and Deserts. A fourth theme deals with the generation of continental-scale ALOS PALSAR image mosaics. Each theme has identified key products that are generated from the PALSAR data including land cover, forest cover and forest change maps, biomass and structure (Forests), wetlands inventory and change (Wetlands) and freshwater resources (Deserts). Each of these products are generated using a combination of PALSAR, in situ and ancillary datasets. The mosaic data sets and thematic products generated within the Initiative are available to the public at the K&C homepage at JAXA EORC: http://www.eorc.jaxa.jp/ALOS/en/kyoto/kyoto_index.html
