Stop by our #AGU25 poster-showcasing our #GoogleEarthEngine app that fuses NASA ICESat‑2 & GEDI #lidar with Sentinel‑1 SAR & Landsat‑8 using machine learning to map 30 m canopy height & biomass, achieving ~6 m RMSE in a hurricane‑impacted Florida case study. agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/me... #ICESat2

Discover how #lidar reveals wildfire impacts & landscape recovery. Case studies in Arizona & Los Angeles show how 3D data helps us quantify canopy loss, hazards, & restoration after major fires. #LAfires #Kaibab

Generate #forestry products from #lidar topography data with lidR! Reproducible R notebook guides users through #pointcloud filtering, raster generation & forest metrics extraction to produce key outputs like canopy height models. Explore notebook: github.com/OpenForest4D...

Multi-temporal #lidar reveals how trees grow - but interpreting change isn’t simple, given differences in point density & season. An #NYC case study (2014 vs 2017) reveals impact of data resolution and timing. #Forestry #RemoteSensing #Geospatial #PointClouds

We created an #OpenSource automated workflow for multi-temporal #lidar processing to map forest change at scale. Generate canopy height, cover & change products critical for monitoring #wildfire impacts and ecosystem dynamics. Code and example from #Kaibab forest #AZ at github.com/OpenForest4D...

Discover how #lidar reveals the size & location of individual Ponderosa Pines at Sunset Crater, AZ! Using advanced algorithms in lidR, we map tree height and crowns in stunning detail, informing forest ecology and management.
