Update: GEDI Forest Mapping Project, Drs. Hansen and Duncanson highlighted

On March 8, 2016, Scientific American published an article entitled, "Satellite Laser Will Map Forests in 3-D." The article discusses lidar technology and the goal of GEDI (Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation), which is to map Earth's forest from canopy to trunk in 3-D.  The mechanism will be mounted on the international space station and report the data collected for at least two years, beginning in 2018.  In this article, GEDI team members, GEOG Professor Matt Hansen and NASA Postdoc Fellow Laura Duncanson, were interviewed.
