NASA Trees Around GLOBE Student Research Campaign, "The State of Trees – September 2023" Webinar
The Data Escape Hatch: Looking at Data and how Data Fusion can help us understand our local to global environments, including a featured discussion on the data fusion of USFS/GEDI Old Growth Forest Research.
In the last webinar of Year 5 for the Trees Around the GLOBE Student Research Campaign, we will focus on data, data, data -- setting us up for the newly approved Year 6 of the campaign. Our featured speaker will be Dr. Benjamin Poulter, of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and Leo Calle of ESSIC/University of Maryland. Dr. Poulter & Calle will discuss recent United States Forest Service (USFS)/GEDI Old Growth Forest research as we enter into the discussion of data fusion, harmonized datasets, data software, looking at the Z-dimension of tree height. Our own, Peder Nelson, Oregon State University researcher and GLOBE Observer Land Cover Science Lead, will lead us in this discussion. We will then discuss some of the plans for Year 6 of the campaign, and its alignment to the upcoming GLOBE Year of Climate and Carbon Campaign.
