Measuring tropical forest disturbance and regrowth with spaceborne lidar
… Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI), a spaceborne lidar sensor, offers the opportunity to measure forest structure and carbon stocks at global scale, and is sensitive enough to capture subtle forest variation even under dense tropical canopies. However, it is computationally challenging …

Tracking Forest Height Growth Over Time with ICESat-2 ATL08
… ICESat-2 mission has employed a photon-counting LiDAR system to estimate along-track ground and canopy heights above the WGS 84 ellipsoid. This mission provides repeat coverage in 100 m data segments across the globe. In this research, we used multiple years of ICESat-2 ATL08 data to identify …

APPLICATIONS OF GEDI LIDAR FOR REMOTE SENSING OF FOREST STRUCTURE AND BIODIVERSITY INDICATORS
… advances the understanding and applications of spaceborne lidar for forest integrity and biodiversity monitoring. The three analyses detailed here contribute to our ability to assess forest health as indicated by forest structure and structural diversity and improve our ability to monitor …

Remote Sensing Characterization of Ecosystem Structure and Functional Types to Inform on Biodiversity Conservation in the Lowland Chocó Rainforest
… SAR with structural and functional measures from spaceborne lidar, i.e., GEDI and optical/IR imagery, i.e., ECOSTRESS allows for classification of ecosystem functional types associated with land use and conservation status. Building off these findings, the next generation of satellite missions are …
