The intent of this workshop is to offer a venue and create a framework, where scientists and technologists from different countries, government agencies, industries and universities can meet and discuss important issues related to current and planned space lidar missions, techniques and associated emerging and enabling technologies. It will also be an opportunity to discuss challenges and common issues, and explore ways to increase collaboration among the space‐agencies and organizations to enhance future active space‐based remote sensing measurements.
