GEDI Lidar | NASA Earthdata The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) instrument is a full-waveform lidar installed on the International Space Station that produces detailed observations of the 3D structure of Earth’s surface GEDI's three lasers precisely measure forest canopy height, canopy vertical structure, and surface elevation
LP DAAC - GEDI Overview - USGS The GEDI instrument produces high-resolution laser ranging observations of the 3-dimensional structure of the Earth GEDI was launched on December 5, 2018, and is attached to the International Space Station (ISS)
Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation - Wikipedia Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI, pronounced ˈ dʒ ɛ d aɪ ) is a NASA mission to measure how deforestation has contributed to atmospheric CO 2 concentrations [ 1 ] [ 2 ] A full-waveform LIDAR was attached to the International Space Station to provide the first global, high-resolution observations of forest vertical structure
ISS: GEDI (Global Ecosystems Dynamics Investigation Lidar) Global Ecosystems Dynamics Investigation (GEDI ) is a NASA-run Earth Ventures Instrument (EVI) mission Installed on the International Space Station (ISS) in December 2018, scientific analysis of the data has been led by Professor Ralph Dubayah at the University of Maryland
NASA SVS | GEDI Media Resources The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) uses laser pulses to give a view of the 3D structure of the Earth GEDI’s precise measurements of the height and vertical structure of forest canopy, along with the surface elevation, will greatly advance our ability to characterize important carbon and water cycling processes, biodiversity
GEDI - NASA Earthdata The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) aims to characterize the effects of changing climate and land use on Earth Specifically, GEDI helps researchers study ecosystem structure and dynamics to enable radically improved quantification and understanding of Earth's carbon cycle and variability of life
