🚨New paper alert!⬇️ 🌴Tropical forests have most high complexity observations 🌳Importance of biome-specific & fine-scale variations for ecological research and mgmt applications 🌲#GEDI Waveform Structural Complexity Index rdcu.be/dT4vP

de Conto et al. present a global map of 3D canopy complexity modeled from spaceborne lidar reveals that highly complex forests are concentrated in the tropics, with significant variations observed across biomes. GEDI nature.com/articles/s4146…

Thanks for including GEDI' recent study on the Structural Complexity of the Earth’s Forests ⤵️

Collaborating with global experts, @Gedi_knights @nehajo88 + others have created a new satellite-based system to estimate forest carbon, aligned with IPCC guidelines for climate reporting. 🌳📊 go.umd.edu/forest-assessm… #ForestCarbon #ClimateData

Fancy a day trip to Washington, D.C.? Check out the NASA Earth Information Center exhibit at the Smithsonian Nat'l Museum of Natural History Smithsonian NMNH to see #GEDI forest height data visualized on the big screen 😎 UMD Research Department of Geographical Sciences BSOS @ UMD

📢Call for papers: Special Issue on #GEDI data applications to support global #conservation, forest management, #carbon monitoring systems, and #climate change mitigation planning 📔Journal: Forest Ecology and Management ⏲️Deadline: 31 May 2025 sciencedirect.com/special-issue/…

Fusing NASA GEDI and European Space Agency TanDEM-X data produces continuous, high-resolution maps of canopy height and #biomass. These maps cover extensive areas of the #pantropics and allow for the study of biomass changes. Read more here: gedi.umd.edu/applications/g…

🌍 How can we get a clearer picture of forest biomass using NASA’s GEDI data? A new study finds that a statistical approach improves accuracy by filling in gaps in satellite measurements. Learn more: go.umd.edu/forest-biomass…

GEDI V2 Level 1B, Level 2A, and Level 2B data released for Apr 27 - Nov 28, 2024 at the LP DAAC NASAEarthdata ! 🤩 This marks the first release since #GEDI was reinstalled on the International Space Station last spring. lpdaac.usgs.gov/news/release-o…

Another invigorating #GEDI Science Team meeting in the books, our first with this competed science team cohort! ✨ Thank you to everyone who attended both in-person and virtually. Department of Geographical Sciences BSOS @ UMD

📩 All GEDI L4A post-storage datasets are now available on NASAEarthdata via the Oak Ridge Lab DAAC! With this release, all #GEDI footprint level datasets from Level 1 to Level 4 are publicly available up until mission week 311 (except L4C WSCI). search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search/granule…

May the Fourth be With You, #GEDI Knights! In the spirit of #Andor—where every tool counts in the fight for a better future—we can use GEDI data to answer vital questions about our Earth for people and for the planet. V3.0 data is coming this year! Department of Geographical Sciences

Happy #StarWarsDay! Are you an Earth science Padawan interested in becoming a #GEDI Master? Join NASA DEVELOP to learn how to utilize NASA Earth observations, like GEDI, to address community concerns. The application for DEVELOP's fall 2025 term opens tomorrow!
