Circumpolar boreal biomass-density and vegetation-height is being transferred to the ORNL DAAC
Circumpolar boreal aboveground biomass density (AGBD) and vegetation height (v2) is being transferred to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory DAAC. The map is built on MAAP with machine-learning models combining the 2020 archive of ICESat-2 height estimates with predictors from topography and Harmonized Landsat/Sentinel-2 surface reflectance. The v2 dataset is available on the MAAP STAC.…
Fire Events Data Suite (FEDS) Uses MAAP to Deploy Fire-Tracking Capabilities
The Fire Events Data Suite (FEDS) uses remotely-sensed fire hotspots to generate near-real-time estimates of fire behavior. FEDS provides fire perimeters, estimates of the active fire line, and mean radiative power for the fire. FEDS data helps scientists understand how fires evolve and spread through time. FEDS tracks fire in the continental United States and…

Towards global spaceborne lidar biomass: Developing and applying boreal forest biomass models for ICESat-2 laser altimetry data
Space-based laser altimetry has revolutionized our capacity to characterize terrestrial ecosystems through the direct observation of vegetation structure and the terrain beneath it. Data from NASA’s ICESat-2 mission provide the first comprehensive look at canopy structure for boreal forests from space-based lidar. The objective of this research was to create ICESat-2 aboveground biomass density (AGBD)…
MAAP version 4.0.0 Release
MAAP v4.0.0 has been released. It is a major new release with some breaking changes. Some highlights include: The “Basic Stable” workspace stack has been renamed to “Python (default)”. The associated default “vanilla” conda environment has been renamed to “python”. JupyterLab has been updated to v4. Added all packages from the previous vanilla workspace (now…
