Regional scale rain-forest height mapping using regression-kriging of spaceborne and airborne LiDAR data: application on...
LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) remote sensing has been shown to be a good technique for the estimation of forest parameters such as canopy heights and above ground biomass. Whilst airborne LiDAR data are in general very dense but only available over small areas due to the cost of their acquisition, spaceborne LiDAR data acquired from the Geosc...

Land surface remote sensing in urban and coastal areas
A two-layer canopy model with thermal inertia for an improved snowpack energy balance below needleleaf forest (model SNO...
A new, two-layer canopy module with thermal inertia as part of the detailed snow model SNOWPACK (version 3.2.1) is presented and evaluated. As a by-product of these new developments, an exhaustive description of the canopy module of the SNOWPACK model is provided, thereby filling a gap in the existing literature. In its current form, the two-layer ...
A method addressing signal occlusion by scene objects to quantify the 3D distribution of forest components from terrestr...
Estimating exact 3D distribution of canopy components using terrestrial lidar in forest is limited by signal occlusion. We propose a method to address this limitation: it uses voxels, beam returns and beam propagation through the scene. The proposed method was validated using simulated forest scenes and a lidar simulator.
Low energy LIDARs for biomass applications
A new approach for LIDAR altimetry mission for biomass applications ( tree height measurement ) is explored based on low emitted laser energy at high repetition fr equency. Low energy approach drastical ly reduces the laser induced risks. Altimetry performances meet preliminary science requirements . The proposed instrument design is compatible wit...
