2021 #GEDI bonus - several months of data coming out ahead of original schedule - just announced! #OpenData

If you're an academic I highly recommend reading this very, very comprehensive review. It cites over 100 studies incl some I didn't know: eg that women are required to re-write their journal submissions so much more than men that it add an avg of 6 months to their submissions 😱

Round two of this important dialogue is coming up. reuters.com/article/us-usa…

Preprint of the article ”The Role of Forests in a “Green Recovery” from the COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond” that Alark Saxena presented at #ForestPeopleDialogue #Focalimember @hfischer_ngn in this team 👩🏾‍💻ping Anne Larson Stephen Woroniecki SIANI

Seeking new post-doc to join our team working on a global synthesis of architectural traits from TLS for improved mapping of canopy structure and biodiversity with GEDI. For best consideration apply by April 29th! Please RT :) ejobs.umd.edu/postings/81820

Caquetá Department, Colombia, has managed to complete and launch its forest-friendly development strategy despite ongoing paramilitary violence. Now, Caquetá needs partnerships and finance to implement the strategy. Kudos to the Earth Innovation CO team for their critical support

Job alert - GEDI mission and science project cluster hire!! Multiple new openings Department of Geographical Sciences - contribute to product development and science with particular focus on #biomass and #forest structure - Apply by June 30 for best consideration ejobs.umd.edu/postings/82430

Hot off the press our new commentary on role of forests as safety net during and post pandemic within the narrative of “green recovery” led by Alark Saxena and an excellent team @hfischer_ngn Patrick Jantz & Dr. Alder Keleman Saxena link: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Super excited to see this out. Excellent work led by Selwyn Hoeks and @L_Santini_Eco . I hope this will represent a valuable resource by making Madingley more accessible for researchers and for teaching ecology in a systemic way. UNEP-WCMC

The Amazon forest dieback is here; it will get worse if a rainfall tipping point is reached. What do we know about the dieback? how to prevent it? Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) Paulo Brando Ane Alencar Aliança da Terra "It all depends on cooperation" – earthinnovation.org/2021/09/it-all…

We’re hiring! We need a Master’s level research associate to help with tons of cool projects using remote sensing to map and monitor ecosystems from the tropics to the tundra. Based in Flagstaff, AZ. tinyurl.com/NAU-Res-Assoc

#GEDIvis GEDI Here my modest app to visualize #GEDI data in Colombia: a) individual shoots, b) aggregated by ecosystem, c) on a geographical and dimensional space, and d) on 3D plot in reference to a veg height map by a college: 🧵👇 http://13.92.29.109:3838/gedivis

d). Clip a raster height veg map of Colombia (in prep for a friend, not my map) and then see on a 3D plot how GEDI points are located in reference to the map. Click where GEDI points exist using the orbits layer (red and blue) #GEDIvis GEDI

What can you do for the climate today? Sign and share this petition to keep GEDI operational - the #LIDAR sensor from the ISS Research that monitors the world's forests. chng.it/Sk29hqm2gx

GEDI I'm happy to say the #saveGEDI petition asking Rep. Mikie Sherrill to publicly support extending GEDI has reached 23k+ people with 2.3k+ signatures and 275+ shares! Let's build on this momentum for the #science that makes #climatesolutions possible! change.org/saveGEDI2022

They grow up so fast…
