Another biannual Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) Science Team (ST) meeting was held May 17–18, 2022, at the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD). 

The main objectives of this meeting were to discuss mission status, data products, competed science team projects, and data calibration, validation, distribution, and applications. Given that the GEDI instrument is set to be de-orbited in January 2023, the meeting heavily emphasized the prioritization of activities within the next seven months.

Activities to be prioritized for ST members over the coming months include publishing results, highlighting the importance of GEDI in many domains, and developing and supporting applications for end users—including other missions, e.g., the upcoming NISAR and BIOMASS missions. The next GEDI ST meeting was held in November 2022.
