Estimating canopy height and site productivity of deciduous forests at a regional scale with leaf off, low density LiDAR
|Date(s)|| 10/21/2013 - 4:00 p.m.
|Location||Donahue Auditorium, Gordon Science Center|
|Presenter||Kristen Brubaker, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies, Hobart and William Smith Colleges|
|Description|| LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is increasingly being used to improve our understanding of forested ecosystems on a broad spatial scale. Using freely available low density, leaf off LiDAR and software, Brubaker and her colleagues established methodology to create an accurate state-wide tree height model for State Forests in Pennsylvania.
