Space lasers, AI used by geospatial scientist to measure forest biomass

Space-laser AI maps forest carbon in minutes—a game-changer for climate science

A pioneering study reveals how archaeologists' satellite tools can be repurposed to tackle climate change. By using AI and satellite LiDAR imagery from NASA and ESA, researchers have found a faster, more accurate way to map forest biomass critical for tracking carbon. This innovative fusion of space tech and machine learning could revolutionize how we manage and preserve forests in a warming world.
