Using two space-based studies, NASA has been observing climate change and groundwater loss across the planet. Its Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) mission, ecosystem and climate researchers can quickly locate their regions of interest and study forest structure and carbon content with greater precision than in the past. GEDI is a high-resolution lidar instrument designed specifically to measure vegetation from the ISS.
