Assessment of altimetry using ground-based GPS data from the 88S Traverse, Antarctica, in support of ICESat-2 [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2019 We conducted a 750 km kinematic GPS survey, referred to as the 88S Traverse, based out of South Pole Station, Antarctica, between December 2017 and January 2018.

On-Orbit Geometric Calibration and Accuracy Validation for Laser Footprint Cameras of GF-7 Satellite
Remote Sensing, 2022 The Gaofen-7 (GF-7) satellite uses a two-beam laser altimetry system in which each beam is equipped with a laser footprint camera (LFC) to provide geometric processing of the laser footprint images that assist in optical image stereo mapping.

Satellite Remote Sensing of the Greenland Ice Sheet Ablation Zone: A Review
Remote Sensing, 2019 The Greenland Ice Sheet is now the largest land ice contributor to global sea level rise, largely driven by increased surface meltwater runoff from the ablation zone, i.e., areas of the ice sheet where annual mass losses exceed gains.

Terrestrial laser scan error in the presence of dense ground vegetation [PDF]
, 2011 Terrestrial Laser Scan (TLS) data are seeing increasing use in geology, geomorphology, forestry and urban mapping. The ease of use, affordability and operational flexibility of TLS suggests that demand for it is likely to increase in large scale mapping ...

Estimation of tree lists from airborne laser scanning by combining single-tree and area-based methods [PDF]
, 2010 Individual tree crown segmentation from airborne laser scanning (ALS) data often fails to detect all trees depending on the forest structure. This paper presents a new method to produce tree lists consistent with unbiased estimates at area level.

Brief communication "Importance of slope-induced error correction in volume change estimates from radar altimetry" [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2012 In deriving elevation change rates (d<I>H</I>/d<I>t</I>) from radar altimetry, the slope-induced error is usually assumed to cancel out in repeat measurements.
