The Story

Welcome to this highly specialized episode of the NASA Live Video Podcast: "NASA ARSET: Estimación del Cambio de Biomasa con GEDI y la API OBIWAN."
In this episode, we explore the cutting-edge fusion of spaceborne LiDAR technology and cloud-based application programming interfaces to track global environmental dynamics. We focus our attention on measuring forest structure fluctuations and carbon storage dynamics over time using data from NASA's GEDI (Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation) mission.
Through the lens of NASA’s Applied Remote Sensing Training (ARSET) program, we break down how researchers estimate aboveground biomass changes. More importantly, we dive into how the OBIWAN API (Online Biomass Inference using Waveforms and NASA data) streamlines this process—allowing users to efficiently query, process, and analyze massive GEDI spaceborne LiDAR waveforms without the need for high-end local computational infrastructure.
Whether you are a carbon accounting specialist, a climate scientist, a GIS analyst, or a space enthusiast eager to see how advanced APIs make satellite data accessible for global conservation, this episode offers critical insights into modern forest monitoring.
