Wall-to-wall forest biomass estimation using Google Earth Engine
Instructor: Dr. Cesar Alvites Forest biomass is a key indicator for estimating forest carbon stocks. Biomass maps help identify carbon pools, explore carbon credit opportunities, and connect these insights to biodiversity conservation and protection. Wall-to-wall mapping takes advantage from field measurement plots to produce a continuous, full-coverage biomass map across the entire forested area. This hands-on virtual workshop is focused on teaching participants a well-documented wall-to-wall mapping approach in Google Earth Engine (GEE). Through guided exercises, participants will learn how to prepare forest biomass reference data (GEDI L4B Gridded Aboveground Biomass Density), generate a wall-to-wall biomass map, evaluate its accuracy, interpret spatial patterns, and download the final outputs. By the end, participants will have practical skills they can apply to ecological monitoring and resource management. More details here.
