de Conto et al. present a global map of 3D canopy complexity modeled from spaceborne lidar reveals that highly complex forests are concentrated in the tropics, with significant variations observed across biomes. @GEDI_Knights nature.com/articles/s4146…

I am so pleased to share the GREAT news that the @umdgeography-led Global Ecosystems Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) is once again collecting data that will help researchers address the grand challenge that is climate change. Well done, @GEDI_Knights! x.com/bsosumd/status…

#ICYMI the Global Ecosystems Dynamics Investigation—aka “GEDI," pronounced like “Jedi” in 'Star Wars'—is officially back in action on the International @Space_Station! go.umd.edu/gedi2024 @GEDI_Knights @UMDResearch @umdgeography

New update from MAAP! 🛰️❗ Thanks to the help of two new tools, MAAP #213 gives us a more detailed look at above-ground carbon estimates within protected areas and Indigenous territories in the Amazon. 🌳 amazonconservation.org/how-maap-is-us…


🌳What are old forest ecosystems? 🌲Why are they important? 🛰️How does #GEDI help identify and map old and mature forests throughout the United States? Learn more at our website: gedi.umd.edu/applications/o…

Wonderful to be a part of this workshop, sharing #NASA #GEDI data to enhance national forest monitoring capabilities!

🚨 Exciting News! FAO and Ghana’s FORIG have launched a 6-day hands-on Regional Workshop on Forest Data and Drivers of Deforestation in West Africa to enhance forest management and data practices across the region.🌳📊#SustainableForestry #deforestation 👉bit.ly/3L0ge9n
