This study explores the relationship between laser waveforms and canopy structure
parameters and the effects of the spatial arrangement of canopy structure on this relationship …

A ground-based, upward-scanning, near-infrared lidar, the Echidna® validation instrument (EVI),
built by CSIRO Australia, retrieves forest stand structural parameters, including mean …

The RAdiative transfer Model Intercomparison (RAMI) activity focuses on the benchmarking
of canopy radiative transfer (RT) models. For the current fourth phase of RAMI, six highly …

Lidar‐based aboveground biomass is derived based on the empirical relationship between
lidar‐measured vegetation height and aboveground biomass, often leading to large …

Effective leaf area index (LAI) retrievals from a scanning, ground-based, near-infrared (1064nm)
lidar that digitizes the full return waveform, the Echidna Validation Instrument (EVI), are …

Urban environment continues to expand at an unprecedented rate to meet the demand of
increasing population and economic development. The resulting changes to landscapes have …

Three-dimensional (3-D) reconstructions of forest stands, constructed from scans of the
Echidna® full-waveform terrestrial lidar, provide a new pathway to estimate forest structural …

Many studies have established the strong connections between aboveground biomass and
lidar height metrics; however, these relationships are site-specific. Field data required to …

Vegetation structure retrieval accuracies from spaceborne Geoscience Laser Altimeter
System (GLAS) on the Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) data are affected by …

This study reviews recent progress on soil moisture data assimilation. Data assimilation is a
process of merging observations with a system dynamic model to provide an improved …
