IGF::OT::IGF "GLOBAL ECOSYSTEM DYNAMICS INVESTIGATION LIDAR (GEDI)" PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR (PI)SUPPORT FOR THE GLOBAL ECOSYSTEM DYNAMICS INVESTIGATION (GEDI) LIDAR INVESTIGATION. THE GEDI LIDAR INVESTIGATION WILL REQUIRE A LASER-BASED SYSTEM DEVELOPED AT NASA GODDARD SPACE FLIGHT CENTER (GSFC) TO OBSERVE THE STRUCTURE OF FOREST CANOPY. THE PROJECT WILL USE A LASER-BASED SYSTEM TO STUDY A RANGE OF CLIMATES, INCLUDING THE OBSERVATION OF THE FOREST CANOPY STRUCTURE OVER THE TROPICS, AND THE TUNDRA IN HIGH NORTHERN LATITUDES. THIS DATA WILL HELP SCIENTISTS BETTER UNDERSTAND THE CHANGES IN NATURAL CARBON STORAGE WITHIN THE CARBON CYCLE FROM BOTH HUMAN-INFLUENCED ACTIVITIES AND NATURAL CLIMATE VARIATIONS.
