NASA ICESat 2 Science Definition Team: Improving Estimates of Forest Biophysical Parameters

ICESat-2 

ICESat-2 Science Team

Dr. Popescu is one of the vegetation scientists on the ICESat-2 The Science Team (ST). The ST for NASA’s ICESat-2 spaceborne mission is a group of competitively selected scientists with the core objective in advancing the science goals and providing guidance and advice to the ICESat-2 project to ensure the mission meets its science requirements. The PI’s LASERS group contributes algorithmic developments for processing  ICESat-2 photon counting lidar (PCL) to derive top of canopy and ground elevation information.  Such vegetation height information can be used for deriving other biophysical parameters, including percent canopy cover and biomass.
