TL;DR: The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) was launched to the International Space Station in late 2018 to provide high-quality measurements of forest vertical structure in temperate and tropical forests between 51.6° N & S latitude as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a scan-lidar-imager of canopies by echo recovery (SLICER) for a successional sequence of closed-canopy, deciduous forest stands in eastern Maryland.

TL;DR: The authors develop a method to decompose a laser altimeter return waveform into a series of components assuming that the position of each component within the waveform can be used to calculate the mean elevation of a specific reflecting surface within the laser footprint.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the relationship between simple vertical canopy profiles derived from field measurements and the estimated aboveground biomass (EAGB) across a range of field plots located in primary and secondary tropical rainforest and in agroforesty areas.

TL;DR: In this article, an evaluation of the GLAS data was conducted using NASA's Laser Vegetation Imaging Sensor (LVIS) data in an area near NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, USA.
