The Campaign
The American ICESat/GLAS Assessment of Carbon was a NASA field investigation that aimed to improve understanding of forest carbon stocks and their role in the global carbon cycle. It consisted of four deployments from 2011 to 2013 across the Eastern and Western United States and Mexico. The Goddard’s LiDAR Hyperspectral & Thermal Imager (G-LiHT) collected lidar and multispectral imagery to map the composition, structure, and function of various ecosystems. These measurements were used to assess carbon observations from the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) onboard the ICESat satellite. AMIGA-Carb was funded through the NASA Carbon Cycle Science Program and the Carbon Monitoring System (CMS).
