Satellites are getting too good for forest carbon?

There's a letter in Science today from a bunch of well known remote sensing researchers that make the unusual point that modern satellite resolution is getting <em> too </em> good to be accurate for forest carbon estimation. The lead author Laura Duncanson is a remote sensing scientist at Maryland who works on the incredible GEDI instrument on the International Space Station.

Abstract

There's a letter in Science today from a bunch of well known remote sensing researchers that make the unusual point that modern satellite resolution is getting <em> too </em> good to be accurate for forest carbon estimation. The lead author Laura Duncanson is a remote sensing scientist at Maryland who works on the incredible GEDI instrument on the International Space Station.
