Happy to announce a successful 18M series A funding round with @perennialearth to bring carbon offset markets to scale. This is what it looks like when @BrownUniversity undergraduates change the world.

I’m very happy to be helping four former #BrownUniversity undergraduates bring spectral imaging to scale in global agriculture. https://t.co/ci09hHwIYt

New paper makes the case for remote sensing of individual plants. https://t.co/FoODSI0ylx

Check out this session at the AGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco later this year: Active remote sensing of 3D structure for ecosystem and surface-topography studies https://t.co/LE5R4rt3EU. Initial results from GEDI and ICESat-2 will be presented.

GEDI has finished its on-orbit check-out!! This marks the beginning of our two-year science data collection period. Major kudos to the sensor development team @NASAGoddard for all the hard work to get us to this point. @NASAEarth @umdgeography

Great write-up by @DrShepherd2013 in Forbes on #GEDI

[Jim Kellner @jamesrkellner]

Really happy to see this new paper out in @Ecology_Letters by @kc_cushman.

A beautiful shot from last night - removal of the ⁦@SpaceX⁩ dragon trunk for installation on the ⁦@Space_Station⁩ JEM-EF

Major step. Next is spectroscopy for biodiversity. Pair LiDAR & spectroscopy with everywhere-everyday @planetlabs satellites, and we have forests & coral reefs covered worldwide. Space laser will map Earth’s forests in 3D: https://t.co/VvvEGNukpa
