Assessing the condition of Yosemite’s forests is important to understand things such as how much carbon they store. This can be done by using data gathered with laser-based technology (LiDAR). Climate change affects many green forest areas and it also…
COVID-19 restrictions provided an opportunity to capture data without pedestrian or vehicular traffic in Venice Beach, CA. This location is world-famous but also a great site particularly for mapping data of buildings, streets, and shorelines. Thanks to the pandemic GEO1,…
The possibilities for the future are endless with a growing interest in LiDAR technology for healthcare, smart devices, geosciences, aerial surveys, and more. You may have heard about LiDAR technology, as it has been a great innovative tool for several…
The use of LiDAR has evolved dramatically thanks to new trends in technology that have allowed for higher accuracy and lower costs. As a response to the needs of businesses and the public sector, the demands on LiDAR trends have…
As any volcanologist can tell you, studying volcanoes up close and in person can be a dangerous job in a highly dynamic and unstable environment. The more sensitive your instruments are, the better data you can collect from a safer…
Technology does not change but evolves. In this fast-paced world, it is expected for new and improved technologies to rise to meet the demands of the next generation. LiDAR has been one of the few forms of technology to consistently…
LiDAR technology measures the differences in laser pulse response times. The result is an extremely detailed topography map and heat signatures that can show buildings and changes in the ground depth with astounding accuracy. While archeologists have used LiDAR to…
It’s no secret that the impact of heavy waves crashing on cliffs plays a role in erosion during storms. Keeping track of the damage as well as the potential for future erosion should be high on the list of priorities…
Most individuals are responsible for doing what they can during the pandemic to protect themselves, protect the most vulnerable citizens, and help the world get back to some sense of normalcy. However, as people begin venturing back out into the world…
