Observations from satellite lidar instruments have provided evidence in the remarkable changes in polar ice sheets on a global scale. The Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) is scheduled for launch by NASA in 2017 and will monitor the elevation changes of polar ice sheets and vegetation canopy. To validate ICESat-2's approach of photon-counting laser altimetry, measurements obtained...
Estimating forest canopy heights over large geographical regions is important for quantifying global carbon stocks, which in turn are needed for the study of climate change. Laser altimetry (LiDAR) is increasingly popular as a sensing technique for vegetation height and structure. NASA's ICESat-2, which is scheduled for launch in July 2017, will provide a platform for collecting LiDAR-based canopy...
