version: 0.6.0
abstract: 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.
