Weak Environmental Controls of Tropical Forest Canopy Height in the Guiana Shield
Remote Sensing, 2016 Canopy height is a key variable in tropical forest functioning and for regional carbon inventories. We investigate the spatial structure of the canopy height of a tropical forest, its relationship with environmental physical covariates, and the ...

Canopy and Terrain Height Retrievals with ICESat-2: A First Look [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2019 NASA’s Ice, Cloud and Land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) launched in fall 2018 and has since collected continuous elevation data over the Earth’s surface. The primary scientific objective is to measure the cryosphere for studies related to land ice and sea ice characteristics.

A high-resolution canopy height model of the Earth
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2023 AbstractThe worldwide variation in vegetation height is fundamental to the global carbon cycle and central to the functioning of ecosystems and their biodiversity. Geospatially explicit and, ideally, highly resolved information is required to manage terrestrial ecosystems, mitigate climate change and prevent biodiversity loss.

Under-Canopy UAV Laser Scanning Providing Canopy Height and Stem Volume Accurately [PDF]
Forests, 2021 The automation of forest field reference data collection has been an intensive research objective for laser scanning scientists ever since the invention of terrestrial laser scanning more than two decades ago. In this study, we demonstrated that an under-canopy UAV laser scanning system utilizing a rotating laser scanner can alone provide accurate ...
