Aboveground biomass density models for NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) lidar mission

NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) is collecting spaceborne full waveform lidar data with a primary science goal of producing accurate estimates of forest aboveground biomass density (AGBD). This paper presents the development of the models used to create GEDI's footprint-level (~25 m) AGBD (GEDI04_A) product, including a description of the datasets used and the procedure for fi

3D spatial distribution of biophysical parameters derived from hyperspectral and lidar remote sensing. Improving the constraints in land surface modelling

A hyperspectral sensor and a full waveform LiDAR were flown over a temperate Eucalyptus forest in Australia, at the location of the Tumbarumba Ozflux site. Ground cover and leaf area index were derived from the LiDAR dataset while chlorophyll content maps were generated from the hyperspectral imagery using 3D radiative transfer models and the structural information derived from the LiDAR. These ma

Use of high resolution lidar and hyperspectral data to evaluate the sensitivity of net ecosystem exchange to stand structural and plant chemical properties

We use a fused high resolution Lidar and hyperspectral dataset to produce gridded parameter maps that are used as input into land surface models (LSMs). The maps contain stand structural information (e.g. leaf area index) derived from lidar data and information derived from reflectance data (e.g. chlorophyll concentration). Ground based leaf level measurements (e.g. maximum rate of carboxilation a

Comparison of net ecosystem production at mature and disturbed forest sites, Saskatchewan, Canada 2001-02

The comparison of net ecosystem production at mature and disturbed forest sites were compared for 2001 and 2002. The distributed and mature boreal forest sites during the growing season have shown that even very young stands old can be strong day-time carbon sinks and even modest to strong daily sinks. The vegetation mosaic dictates that there were few stands of sufficient fetch for eddy covarianc

Chinese Citizen Satisfaction with Government Performance during COVID-19

While foreign pundits have alternatively blamed and praised the Chinese government’s handling of the COVID-19 virus, little is known about how citizens within China understand this performance. This article considers how satisfied Chinese citizens are with their government’s performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. It first considers the impact of authoritarian control, political culture, and/or

Clinical spectrum, genetic associations and management outcomes of Coats-like exudative retinal vasculopathy in autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa

Background: Coats-like retinal vasculopathy in retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is rare. This study describes its clinical spectrum, management outcomes and genetic associations in patients with autosomal recessive RP (arRP). Materials and methods: Retrospective review of ophthalmic, multimodal imaging, genetic findings and treatment outcomes of arRP patients who developed Coats-like features. Identifica
