Can we use 3D data to understand the structural component of tree biodiversity?

Please join us in the first Terrestrial and Freshwater Biodiversity session here at Living Planet 2025 🌳 to find out!

Room 0.96/0.97.

Day 1 of the BIOSPACE25 Meeting at @esa.int. 🛰️

I’m so excited to spend this week focused on understanding 🌍 biodiversity and finding solutions to #biodiversity loss.

An amazing group of scientists and organizations represented here who can certainly make a difference!

This one site had virtually ZERO canopy cover. Ash and Oak decline is deeply impacting the forest.

Coming back from a week of laser scanning fieldwork where I originally worked on my PhD and it was surreal.

I've not been back for 10 years and, while some areas of the forest seemed almost frozen in time - others are experiencing massive dieback.

A decade provides a lot of perspective.

As you might expect, TanDEM-X height estimates improve across the board with a higher threshold of GEDI shots per calibrated grid cell - but the tradeoff is a reduced number of observations. Finding this balance can depend on the availability of GEDI data.

Compared to other optical products the TanDEM-X SAR canopy height is unaffected by clouds and was LESS biased and LESS prone to saturation in maximum canopy height estimates.

Super excited to present our #NASA work on #3D #biodiversity traits in #forest #ecosystems at #AGU24! 🌳

We are working to understand convergent and divergent structural traits (dry forests today).

Glorious talk from Anthony Campbell mapping estuary biodiversity in South Africa. 👏👏👏

#NASA exhibit hall #AGU24 is the BEST place to see #scicomm! 🤩

How does wildfire severity (and other factors!) affect pyrogenic organic matter? 🔥🔥🔥🌲🌲🌲

Super cool talk from @atkinsjeff.bsky.social #AGU24

I....don't know how to see all of the cool #science stuff!!! 😅 #AGU24

Who loves #3D #forests here??? 😍 🖐️

We use this AMAZING #tech to capture 3D #tree #ecology traits.
