Abstract

The Cuvette Centrale in the Congo Basin stores close to 29.0 petagrams of carbon, and preserving it requires knowledge of its topography – a domed structure is an indicator of rain-fed peat. The dense forest prevents most usual ground-based and remote sensing techniques, so a mixture of UAV-based LiDAR combined with ICESat-2 satellite LiDAR and classification techniques were used to estimate the peat shape.
