Collect airborne laser scanning data over biomass plots over NWT. Specifically to develop biomass and forest resource models for GNWT multi source inventory, and to assess how the resource is changing through time and in space due to climate and fire influences.
Airborne laser data coverage is calibrated by field plot data (most provided by GNWT) and models are created which are then upscaled t...
