The data mainly used will be airborne lidar data.
The results of these analyses will be made available online via a dedicated web interface (API) and the code will be posted on git.
These databases will enable the validation of global forest carbon estimates using satellite measurements.
This position will be part of the European Space Agency's FRM4BIOMASS project, funded under the global GEO-TREES initiative (https://geo-trees.org/).
