LIDAR for the win once again. The story of the discovery of these cities in the Amazon broke a while ago but this article has the best LIDAR topology images I have seen so far. The sites seem enormous, I hope they can get archeological boots on the ground soon to learn more about this civilization. #lidar #archeology

Airborne LiDAR and #Landsat data can accurately estimate #eucalyptus #carbon stock, with month-based models excelling in precision, especially for young #plantations！ Authored by: Xiandie Jiang, Dengqiu Li, Guiying Li, Dengsheng Lu from Key Laboratory for Humid Subtropical Eco-geographical Processes of the Ministry of Education, Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou, China/Institute of Geography, Fujian Normal University, Fuzhou, China Forest Ecosystems https://lnkd.in/gTRVF_mU

A point cloud captured with a terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) reveals the inside of a cavern at Golden Gate Highlands National Park, South Africa. Within the cavern lies a geomorphological phenomenon called Tafoni, speculated to have formed due to preferential weathering. However, there isn't an accepted theory behind the formation of this cavernous weathering. This was a component of my Honours project, where I evaluated the feasibility of using LiDAR to scan macro and micro geomorphological features. I generated a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of this phenomenon and calculated the volume of the total weathered material. This might provide insight into the reasons behind the formation of this feature and allows for the rapid and accurate measurement of complex geomorphological features. #LiDAR #Geomorphology #Geomorphometry #MorphometricAnalysis #3Dscan #Surveying #TLS

Amazonia was once densely populated The Amazon rainforest is by no means an untouched primeval forest, but was a cultivated landscape modified and cultivated by humans for at least a millennium. This is suggested by a study in which a research team led by Vinicius Peripato from the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE) found 24 previously unknown ruins in the Amazon region. The team mapped more than 5300 square kilometers using Lidar<< technology (the abbreviation stands for >>Light Detection And Ranging<<), in which laser beams scan the ground. Lidar makes it possible to determine the precise height of the ground - even through the canopy of a forest. Based on the measurement data, the team has extrapolated that tens of thousands of structures could still be undiscovered in the entire Amazon region. The walls probably date from between 1500 and 500 years ago. It is known that populous and complex societies already existed in the Amazon region before the Spanish invasion. Experts have identified more than 1000 weathered structures from these pre-Columbian cultures, some of which were connected by road networks. However, nobody knows how many ruins are still hidden under the dense vegetation: Most of them have been found during terrain mapping, which only recorded tiny flat areas.
