Distribution of land cover has a profound impact on the climate and environment; map**
the land cover patterns from global, regional to local scales are important for scientists and …

In addition to precise 3D coordinates, most light detection and ranging (LIDAR) systems also
record “intensity”, loosely defined as the strength of the backscattered echo for each …

In the last decade, a range of new remote-sensing techniques has led to a dramatic increase
in terrain information, providing new opportunities for a better understanding of Earth surface …

Biomass fractions (total aboveground, branches and foliage) were estimated from a small
footprint discrete-return LiDAR system in an unmanaged Mediterranean forest in central …

Lidar collects high-resolution spatial data, making it a popular tool for outcrop investigations;
however, few of these studies utilize lidar's spectral capability. Lidar scanners commonly …

Nyamulagira and Nyiragongo are two of the most active volcanoes in Africa, but their
eruptive histories are poorly known. Assessing lava flow volumes in the region remains …

Lava flow map** is both an essential component of volcano monitoring and a valuable
tool for investigating lava flow behavior. Although maps are traditionally created through …

Application of light detection and ranging (LIDAR) technology in volcanology has developed
rapidly over the past few years, being extremely useful for the generation of high‐spatial …

The increasing availability of high resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) is changing
our viewpoint towards Earth surface landforms. Nevertheless, large-coverage, intermediate …

We present a rapid in situ photogrammetric method to characterize surface roughness by
taking overlap** photographs of a scene. The method uses a single digital camera to …
