We are organizing a Fall AGU session that may be of interest to some of you.
Title: Using LiDAR Datasets To Improve Ecohydrological Observations Description: LiDAR datasets offer the potential to revolutionize our view of hydrology by providing high spatial resolution measurements over multiple scales. Despite the widespread collection of these datasets, hydrologists have just begun to utilize them for investigating processes due to inconsistent collection and analysis protocols and a lack of models capable of ingesting LiDAR data. To address these current limitations, we are particularly interested in topics that link LiDAR data (airborne or terrestrial) to ground-based observations of terrestrial water and energy fluxes (e.g. stream discharge, evapotranspiration, etc.). We also encourage submission of studies that incorporate LiDAR-derived datasets into physically-based models.
