Towards global spaceborne lidar biomass: Developing and applying boreal forest biomass models for ICESat-2 laser altimetry data

Rob Tapella
July 16, 2024

Space-based laser altimetry has revolutionized our capacity to characterize terrestrial ecosystems through the direct observation of vegetation structure and the terrain beneath it. Data from NASA’s ICESat-2 mission provide the first comprehensive look at canopy structure for boreal forests from space-based lidar. The objective of this research was to create ICESat-2 aboveground biomass density (AGBD)…

Committee of Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) Biomass Harmonization

Rob Tapella
November 23, 2023

Biomass Harmonization is a coordinated effort of scientists to release forest-carbon estimates obtained with space data in a comparable manner. This helps identify underlying assumptions, definitions and uncertainty-estimation frameworks (Ref 1). By collaborating with scientists and policy-makers in various countries, this effort also aims to align the carbon estimates with policy guidelines, which will ease…

GEDI Data Products

George Chang
September 16, 2019

GEDI’s Level 1 and 2 products will start to become available on the MAAP in late 2019, with level 4A products coming available in 2020.  The Level 2A and 2B products should be of particular interest to MAAP users, as they include GEDI waveforms that have been processed for easy interpretation, containing biophysical variables. These products…

Reference Data Coming Soon

George Chang
September 16, 2019

The GEDI team is continuing to expand the forest structure and biomass database with the goal of obtaining publicly available datasets that can be added to the MAAP. Some specific datasets on the horizon are: Brazil field data and lidar geotiffs in the Amazon (already in the GEDI database)ABoVE public field sites and airborne lidar…
