LiDAR Magazine Webinar Series – Advancing Planetary Exploration – Where No Lidar Has Gone Before
Ultra-portable lidar systems are transforming scientific research in the fields of geology and geomorphology. Small, powerful scanners can now collect incredibly dense point clouds of small-scale features, providing unprecedented detail over huge areas while freeing up valuable field time. How can these systems be applied to planetary research?
Join host Dr. Stewart Walker and distinguished panelists for an inside look at how an international collaboration of planetary scientists in Canada, Finland, and at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center are utilizing lidar to advance scientific research, aid exploration and develop methods to characterize extra-terrestrial environments. Our presentation will include outstanding examples from research at impact craters in the Canadian High-Arctic and Estonia alongside fascinating volcanic features found within Craters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho, USA.
