With 3.03 trillion trees and 78,000 tree species on Earth, we strive to build and update the global inventory of tree height observations. Tracking how trees change over time, both in height and in the number of trees that make up an area, is a good indicator of an ecosystem’s health in an evolving climate. Through a combination of ICESat-2 and the GLOBE Program, we can compare space-based tree height and ground-based tree height observations.
