Partner Webinar: New Applications for Terrestrial LiDAR Systems, Monitoring Forests, Fuels and Ecosystem Health
Traditional forestry, ecological, and fuels monitoring methods are costly, error-prone and are rarely analyzed. The application of Terrestrial LIDAR System (TLS) units to monitoring methods can help standardize data collection resulting in improved efficiency, reduced error, and datasets that can easily be analyzed to better inform management decisions. Affordable (sub-$20K) off-the-shelf TLS units can be […]

Satellite Observations and Tools for Fire Risk, Detection, and Analysis
Fires are a growing concern, especially in regions with longer fire seasons, expanded wildland/urban interfaces, and severe and frequent droughts. Anthropogenic fires are commonly used to clear grassland and agricultural land prior to the planting season, and forests are often cleared using fires so the land can be repurposed for other uses. Whether naturally-occurring or […]
