  • Quantification of landslide movement in a forested environment

    Creator:
    Conner, Jeremy C.
    Abstract:
    Landslides are an insidious natural hazard, which can result in significant damage to public infrastructure. Limited monitoring tools are available, particularly tools suitable for use in forested environments. These tools often only allow a few locations across the slide to be monitored. Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) shows promise as a...

  • Estimating volume and value on standing timber in hybrid poplar plantations using terrestrial laser scanning : a case study

    Creator:
    Barnett, Jennifer S.
    Abstract:
    Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) may provide a way to increase timber value recovery by replacing manual timber cruising with a simple-to-use, cost-effective alternative. TLS has been studied in several trials worldwide. Past studies have not compared TLS based estimates with mill estimates of stem value and volume. Three differently stocked...

  • Estimation and modeling of selected forest metrics with lidar and Landsat

    Creator:
    Strunk, Jacob L.
    Abstract:
    Lidar is able to provide height and cover information which can be used to estimate selected forest attributes precisely. However, for users to evaluate whether the additional cost and complication associated with using Lidar merits adoption requires that the protocol to use lidar be thoroughly described and that a basis...

  • Mapping-grade GPS accuracy in second growth Douglas-fir forest

    Creator:
    Frank, Jereme M.
    Abstract:
    The global positioning system (GPS) has come into widespread use for many forestry applications. However, there is still some uncertainty as to how receivers perform in dense forest, where trees interfere with the GPS signal and increase error. These two manuscripts examine GPS accuracy and overall effectiveness within second growth...

  • Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) : what we can and cannot see in the forest for the trees

    Creator:
    Edson, Curtis B.
    Abstract:
    Recently concerns over anthropogenic carbon pollution have received increased global attention and research in forest biomass and carbon sequestration has gained momentum. Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing has in the last decade demonstrated forest measurement and biomass estimation potential. The project objective was to compare LiDAR forest biomass...
