Advancements in Airborne Lidar for Vegetation Canopy Assessment in Australia

This presentation by Ian Barton from CSIRO Marine Research details the ongoing development of airborne Lidar technology aimed at enhancing the assessment of vegetation dynamics across various scales in Australia. The CSIRO has completed a business plan to explore the commercial potential of Lidar-based forest mapping, with immediate applications in forestry, land cover management, and global change research. Details about the project and related links can be found at the CSIRO EOC website, as collaborative opportunities are being sought to construct Lidar systems in Australia.

  4. Summary:CSIRO research is seeking to harness lidar technology to significantly enhance our capacity to describe the status and dynamics of vegetation from forest stand to continental scales. This will have immediate applications in forestry, land cover management and global change research. By using data from various sources, some Lidar trials, simulation and our base of experience, we have identified how these tools can be put to work.CSIRO commissioned a business plan development to assess the commercial potential for Lidar based forest mapping and is now seeking partners to see systems built in Australia.
