Featured Terrestrial Ecosystem Observation Method: GEDI Lidar

The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) instrument is a full-waveform lidar aboard the International Space Station that maps the 3D structure of Earth’s surface. GEDI's three lasers precisely measure forest canopy height, canopy vertical structure, and surface elevation. The instrument's 3D data provide scientists with measurements to calculate the amount of biomass and carbon in forests and how much they lose when disturbed or destroyed.
