Sasse and Lucy collecting SALCA data at Delamere Forest |
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.

New researcher joins the SALCA team
The Salford SALCA team has a new member, Fadal
Sasse, who joins as a PhD researcher from Libya. Fadal, also know as Sasse, has an MSc in
Environmental Science from the Diponegoro University, Semarang, Indonesia,
where his thesis was on forest community structure in the Sungai Langat Forest
Reserve, Selangor. Sasse will undertake research to better characterize forest
structure and species composition using terrestrial laser scanners, initially
continuing to work at UK test sites, and possibly developing the work in
tropical forest environments. He will use the SALCA instrument and focus on the
spectral information available from the dual-wavelength instrument, and aim to
combine this with measurements from other TLS measuring in visible wavelengths.
