The Story

Welcome to this highly anticipated episode of the NASA Live Video Podcast: "NASA ARSET: Estimación de Biomasa Usando GEDI."
In this episode, we venture deep into the forests of Earth to explore how space-based technology helps us measure our planet's carbon cycle. We focus our attention on NASA's GEDI (Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation) mission—a high-resolution spaceborne LiDAR instrument attached to the International Space Station (ISS) that is completely transforming how we estimate forest biomass and structure.
Through the lens of NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training (ARSET) program, we break down the core methodologies behind mapping aboveground biomass using GEDI data. We discuss how GEDI's precise laser pulses pierce through dense forest canopies to measure the 3D structure of the Earth's surface, providing scientists with the critical datasets needed to quantify carbon storage, monitor deforestation, and predict habitat biodiversity.
Whether you are an ecologist, a climate scientist, a carbon-accounting professional, or a space enthusiast curious about how NASA tracks environmental health from orbit, this episode offers an essential introduction to the future of global forest monitoring.
