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.

TLSIIG forum at RSPSoc 2015 conference
Mark Danson (Salford University, UK) and Crystal Schaaf (University of Massachusetts Boston) hosted a Terrestrial Laser Scanner International Interest Group (TLSIIG) forum as part of the Annual Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society (RSPSoc) held this year in Southampton (8-11 September). Mark and Crystal described the origins and work of the TLSIIG and a lively discussion followed. On the last day of the conference TLSIIG members Lucy Walker, Mark Danson, Rachel Gaulton and Mat Disney contributed to the excellent "Forestry" session chaired by Professor Ross Hill (Bournemouth University) and all talked about the wide range of research currently underway with TLS.
