The SALCA diaries

Vegetation structure is important for measuring forest growth and the carbon cycle. Developed by the University of Salford and Halo Photonics Ltd, the Salford Advanced Laser Canopy Analyser (SALCA) is a unique multi-spectral, full waveform laser scanner using two wavelengths allowing distinction between leaves and woody material. This blog follows our research funded by the UK NERC and involving University of Newcastle, University College London and UK Forest Research.

SALCA at the Manchester Science Festival

Mark Danson gave a series of public demonstrations of SALCA at the Salford Sci-Fest in October - part of the 2014 Manchester Science Festival. More than 2000 people attended the event held at the University's Media City Campus on Salford Quays. The demonstration included experiments to measure the speed of light, videos of SALCA in action, and a live demonstration of the instrument.
