Vítězslav Moudrý in Dresden
I visited TU Dresden twice in the last two weeks. During the first visit, I worked intensively with Xiao Liu on the revision of our paper, which focuses on using GEDI to assess changes in forest vertical structure over time. The opportunity to work and discuss the text together in person was very refreshing compared…

Members of the EarthBridge team collaborated on a new article.
Choosing the Optimal Global Digital Elevation Model forStream Network Delineation: Beyond Vertical Accuracy The Importance of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs)Global digital elevation models (DEMs) are vital for various hydrological applications, including stream network delineation and flood modeling. However, their accuracy often suffers from vegetation and building offsets, making bare-earth DEMs a promising alternative. This study…

How to Find Accurate Terrain and Canopy Height GEDIFootprints in Temperate Forests and Grasslands?
Research Article by Vítězslav Moudrý. Introduction to GEDI Data Filtering The Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) mission collects terrain and canopy height data using spaceborne lidar. While it provides invaluable forest and grassland height metrics, accurately using GEDI data requires filtering out noisy and low-quality observations affected by environmental and acquisition conditions. This study aims…
