Two novel satellite LiDAR missions —GEDI and ICESat-2— are currently operational combined provide near-global measurements of forest height structure. Such data underpin a new era large-area approaches for measuring in regrowing forests different ages assessing associated regrowth rates. further allow comparing independently derived heights This study utilized both GEDI ICESat-2 to assess rates...

As climate warms and the transition from a perennial to seasonal Arctic sea-ice cover is imminent, understanding melt ponding central changes in new Arctic. NASA’s Ice, Cloud land Elevation Satellite (ICESat-2) has capacity provide measurements monitoring of onset on progression. Yet ponds are currently not identified ICESat-2 standard products, which only single surface determined. The objecti...

Using the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite 2 (ICESat-2) global high-resolution elevation measurements, it is possible to distinguish individual surface ocean waves. With vast majority of surveying missions using radar satellites, ICESat-2 observations are an important addition surveys. can also provide additional not with radar. In this paper, we consolidate by comparing significant wav...

This article presents an assessment of the horizontal accuracy and precision laser altimetry observations collected by NASA’s Ice, Cloud, Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) mission. We selected terrain-matching method to determine position altimeter profiles within a precisely known surface, represented digital elevation model (DEM). took this classical approach step further, approximated DE...
