carbon auditing
Canopy models, as well as forest floor Digital Terrain Models, can readily be derived using LiDAR.
The detailed and highly accurate Digital Terrain and Elevation Models are routinely derived from LiDAR surveys. These datasets are frequently supported with both colour and near Infra-red aerial imagery.
A phased program of data acquisition will provide the basis for forest managers to determine rates of growth over time - carbon audits.
Technologies to consider for Carbon Auditing include:
- LiDAR / Airborne Laser Scanning
- Very High Resolution Satellite Imagery
- High Resolution Satellite Imagery
- Aerial Photography
- GIS Data Integration
