Description: Provides an end-to-end workflow for NASA Global Ecosystem
        Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) Level 1B, Level 2A, Level 2B,
        Level 3, Level 4A, and Level 4B data. Functions search NASA
        catalogues, download granules, stream HDF5 products from
        Earthdata Cloud, and extract geolocations, waveforms, elevation
        and relative-height metrics, canopy cover, plant area profiles,
        and aboveground biomass. Methods quality-filter and spatially
        clip HDF5, tabular, and raster products; calculate footprint
        and polygon statistics; create gridded summaries; and visualize
        orbital tracks and measurements. The package also simulates
        GEDI-like waveforms from airborne laser-scanning point clouds
        and supports spatial sampling, predictive modelling,
        ancillary-data extraction, and wall-to-wall upscaling with
        optional Google Earth Engine workflows.
