15 January 2025: Kick-Off (KO) Meeting
We officially commenced the Sentinel2Height project with a meeting on January 15, 2025.

During the meeting, we discussed each work package, including deliverables, key objectives, timelines, and implementation strategies
9 July 2025: Mid-Term Progress Review1
Exciting News from Sentinel2Height – Mid-Term Milestone Reached! 🚀
The Sentinel2Height project has successfully reached its mid-term milestone with great momentum. We’ve developed an automated pipeline that integrates Sentinel-1 single-baseline InSAR with spaceborne LiDAR data (GEDI and ICESat-2) to support large-scale forest height mapping. Data collection is now complete for Europe and Africa, with expansion ongoing in South America and Asia. We're actively working on extending coverage, incorporating shorter temporal baselines, and finalizing the first public dataset release—coming this September 2025.
