Global Airborne Observatory: Forest Canopy Height and Carbon Stocks for Sabah, Borneo Malaysia

Two maps are provided from a study of the State of Sabah, in Bornean Malaysia. The maps are based on airborne light detection and ranging (lidar) data, combined with satellite-based maps of forest cover and properties, acquired in 2016. The resulting maps are: (1) top of canopy height or TCH; and (2) aboveground carbon density or ACD. Units for TCH are meters above ground. Units for ACD are Mg C per hectare. Maps are provided at 30 meter spatial resolution. See readme files for further details. Use of these data require citation of this dataset and the original journal paper that delivered the...
