Researchers will be able to use techniques similar to those described in Cavanaugh et al. (2011) to measure canopy biomass from HyspIRI, however the coarser spatial resolution of HyspIRI as compared to Landsat may lead to biases in biomass estimates as patches that are distinguishable on 30 m resolution Landsat imagery may be undetectable with 60 m HyspIRI imagery.
