NEW PUBLICATION: We have developed a large scale, forest mapping system using handheld LIDAR.

The approach can extact individual trees and measure their diameters (DBH) and scale to several hectares.

It was inspiring to listen to @ChrisRapley3131 talk about using narratives to create the agency to act "we need to frame climate change to tell stories of what people do... a moment to go from issue to ACTION..."

Inspiring presentation on environmental equity and indigenous-led #EO projects @GeoIndigenous #LPS22. How @FAO uses data to benefit indigenous groups, and how the @Climateforest #OpenAccess satellite data program seeks to reduce and reverse loss of tropical forest
