In 2007 The National Research Council Earth Science Decadal Survey, Earth Science Applications from Space, recommended a five-year integrated L-band InSAR and multibeam Lidar mission called DESDynI (Deformation, Ecosystem Structure, and Dynamics of Ice) be launched in the 2010–2013 timeframe. The mission will measure surface deformation for solid Earth and cryosphere objectives and vegetation structure for understanding the ecosystem structure and carbon cycle. >> more

There are numerous applications that DESDynI can address including monitoring of earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, ground subsidence, >> more

The objective for this meeting was to evaluate, refine, and document the scientific goals, priorities, and requirements of the mission and identify open issues. >> more

This report summarizes the main discussions of a workshop held to assess the 2007 recommendation by the National Research Council Decadal Survey that NASA implement a space mission, DESDynI, consisting of radar and lidar instruments for the purpose of measuring Earth surface deformation, ecosystem structure, and dynamics of ice. 140 scientists attended and discussed the science objectives, measurement approaches, and across-discipline synergies enabled by the mission. >> more

This is the second announcement for a NASA workshop on the science of DESDynI, a mission recommended by the National Research Council's Decadal Study Report, Earth Science and Applications from Space: >> more
