An Icelandic glacier
Mapping hazardous terrain using remote sensing
- Intense geothermal activity melts the ice which eventually pours out resulting in devastating glacial outburst floods
- Use thermal data to understand the processes occurring beneath the ice
- Provide an understanding of how volcanoes work
- Aid in the forecasting of eruptions
Crete, Greece
Vegetation & Landscape Structure in a Threatened Ecosystem - Crete
- The island of Crete is a high quality Mediterranean ecosystem - 10% of the island's vegetation unique to Crete
- Currently changes in land use are threatening that ecosystem
- Airborne LiDAR and optical data used to classify ecologically important assemblages of vegetation
- 3d structure gives new insights into above ground biomass
