✈️📦 Special delivery! The S-SAR (synthetic aperture radar) instrument just arrived at JPL for installation on the NISAR satellite. It's one of two radars on this joint NASA Earth-ISRO mission to help us study hazards and global environmental change. nisar.jpl.nasa.gov

It is with great pleasure that I announce our biomass protocol has been officially endorsed by CEOS! This NASA supported activity was a huge effort by >50 co-authors from many CEOS agencies. Official doc link here - please share widely! doi:10.5067/doc/ceoswgcv/lpv/agb.001

What’s in the new #CEOS #biomass protocol? No time to read 236 pages? Here’s a quick summary! Co-led with Mathias Disney and John Armston, Eds jenickeson Fernando Camacho See full document for further details: lpvs.gsfc.nasa.gov/PDF/CEOS_WGCV_…

Simulations to determine impact of GEDI geolocation uncertainty on reliability of measurements. GEDI #lidar Roy, Kashongwe, & John Armston. The impact of geolocation uncertainty on GEDI tropical forest canopy height estimation & change monitoring. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Our probabilistic deep learning approach for interpreting on-orbit GEDI L1B waveforms to estimate canopy height on a global scale is published in Remote Sensing of Environment: doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.… @EcoVisionETH GEDI

Big news for GEDI #biomass- new paper out describing the biomass models, AND version 2 of the associated product was recently released on ORNL DAAC. The models described in this paper are in both the version 1 and 2 of the level 4A product. #OpenData NASAEarthdata

NASA has selected four proposals for concept studies of new ARCHIVED - NASA Climate missions! From studying greenhouse gases to global changes in ice and glaciers, each investigation will help gather the data needed to confront our changing climate and its impacts: go.nasa.gov/4b5ff3a

Huge congratulations to @helenafricker and team for making it onto the shortlist for NASA's next Earth System Explorer satellite with their #EDGE laser altimeter mission ! nasa.gov/news-release/n…

💻Learning how to use #GEDI data for the first time? 🧐Need #data resources but not sure where to find them? Check out our website's new resources and tutorials page! And if there are other resources that you love that we missed, shoot us a DM 😃 gedi.umd.edu/data/resources…

Extremely exciting news for the future of Satellite #lidar! #EDGE has been selected to the next round by NASA! What is EDGE? Led by the amazing PI @helenafricker🧊 and Deputy PI John Armston 🌳 this would be the natural continuity of both GEDI and ICESat-2
