It's now one month to our June deadline for instrument and service loan applications. High spatial and spectral resolution spectrometers are available for projects between July 2024 to May 2025 -- please feel free to get in touch to find out more about applying. @NCEOscience
ALT Dual field of view measurements at Gobabeb Desert, Namibia, in support of the HYPERNETS project -- here, the spectral characteristics of the site are determined using high spectral resolution spectrometers, which then inform calibration methodologies for in orbit senors.

Avian flu update from the #BassRock.
A huge thank you🙏 to the team of drone specialists at @EdinburghUni and their partners @NERC_FSF @SRUC, who joined us out on Bass Rock last week to begin to assess the impact #AvianFlu is having on the #gannets. – at North Berwick, Scotland

The much anticipated @GEDI_Knights gridded biomass product is out!! #OpenData
We are so excited to announce the release of the new #GEDI Level 4B aboveground biomass density (AGBD) dataset! Thank you @NASAEarthData for the feature go.nasa.gov/3LERWjq and everyone who made this possible. @umdgeography @NASAGoddard 🌳🌎🛰️

Keep #GEDI up!! As an eternal optimist I have to think there’s a way to make this happen. Looking to @NASA to help find a solution - let’s not waste the opportunity to extend a climate relevant mission during a climate crisis! @GEDI_Knights
