Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) High resolution laser ranging of Earth’s forests and topography from the International Space Station (ISS)
- Mission Overview - GEDI
GEDI produces the first high resolution laser ranging observations of the 3D structure of the Earth GEDI makes precise measurements of forest canopy height, canopy vertical structure, and surface elevation
- Products Overview - GEDI
GEDI data products are designed to answer key science questions on the role of ecosystem structure now and in the future GEDI science data products include footprint and gridded data sets that describe the 3D features of the Earth
- Instrument Overview - GEDI
GEDI is a full-waveform lidar instrument that makes detailed measurements of the 3D structure of the Earth’s surface Lidar is an active remote sensing technology (the laser version of radar) which uses pulses of laser light to measure 3D structure
