Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

Abstract As a key macrophysical property, cloud horizontal scale plays a critical role in cloud radiative effect (CRE), precipitation and convective structures. Until now, however, how cloud scales vary with surface temperature anomaly and their subsequent impacts on CRE and precipitation remains unclear.

Estimation of Forest Stock Volume in Complex Terrain Using Spaceborne Lidar
In forest remote sensing monitoring of complex terrain, spaceborne lidar data has become a key technology for obtaining large-scale forest structure parameters due to its uniquethree-dimensional observation capabilities.

Informing spatial conservation prioritization with species’ traits
Abstract New Guinea, the most botanically diverse island on the planet, is the location for one of the boldest conservation initiatives. The Manokwari Declaration aims to achieve 70% conservation designation for the Bird's Head Peninsula. This is 40% higher than the 2022 Global Biodiversity Framework target.

Airborne lidar reflectance measurements at 1.57 μm in support of the A-SCOPE mission for atmospheric CO2 [PDF]
The characteristics of the lidar reflectance of the Earth's surface is an important issue for the IPDA lidar technique (integrated path differential absorption lidar) which is the proposed method for the spaceborne measurement of atmospheric carbon ...

Machine learning-enabled real-time detection of cloud and aerosol layers using airborne lidar
Lidar profiling of the atmosphere provides information on existence of cloud and aerosol layers and the height and structure of those layers. Knowledge of feature boundaries is a key input to assimilation models.
