![]() ![]() In 2005 the in the became the first high on which lidar was employed to monitor the increasing occurrence of severe rock-fall over large rock faces allegedly caused by climate change and degradation of permafrost at high altitude. The lidar abilities to detect subtle topographic features such as river terraces and river channel banks, to measure the land-surface elevation beneath the vegetation canopy, to better resolve spatial derivatives of elevation, and to detect elevation changes between repeat surveys have enabled many novel studies of the physical and chemical processes that shape landscapes. Geology and soil science High-resolution generated by airborne and stationary lidar have led to significant advances in (the branch of geoscience concerned with the origin and evolution of the Earth surface topography). Lidar allows research scientists to not only measure the height of previously unmapped trees, but to determine the biodiversity of the redwood forest., who is working with the League on the North Coast lidar project, claims this technology will be useful in directing future efforts to preserve and protect ancient redwood trees. In addition, the has undertaking a project to map the tall redwoods on the Northern California coast. ![]() In 2018, archaeologists using lidar discovered more than 60,000 man-made structures in the, a 'major breakthrough' that showed the was much larger than previously thought. In Cambodia, lidar data were used by Demian Evans and Roland Fletcher to reveal anthropogenic changes to Angkor landscape In 2012, Lidar revealed that the settlement of in, Mexico, had about as many buildings as today's Manhattan while in 2016, its use in mapping ancient Maya causeways in northern Guatemala, revealed 17 elevated roads linking the ancient city of to other sites. In southern New England, lidar was used to reveal stone walls, building foundations, abandoned roads, and other landscape features obscured in aerial photography by the region's dense forest canopy. In June 2013, the rediscovery of the city of was announced. During a seven-day mapping period, evidence was found of man-made structures. In 2012, lidar was used to search for the legendary city of or 'City of the Monkey God' in the region of the Honduran jungle. ![]()
