Tropical Forest Canopy Height: Understanding Climate Change Impact

Tropical forest canopy height is a critical aspect of understanding the health of our planet’s ecosystems, especially as we face the profound impacts of climate change.By employing cutting-edge remote sensing technology, such as NASA’s Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) LiDAR system, researchers are now able to assess the variations in canopy height associated with different climatic conditions.
