Abstract :
At tropical rain forest study sites in Guyana (Mabura Hill) and Colombia (Araracuara and San Jose del Guaviare) a systematic research program is carried out using satellite remote sensing data and radar data acquired during airborne campaigns. In April 1992 the SAREX-92 airborne radar remote sensing campaign of ESA and in May/June 1993 the AIRSAR South American Deployment of NASA were successfully carried out. Results of SAREX-92 and some first results of the AIRSAR-93 campaigns are discussed.
