The Western New York chapter of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society is hosting a lecture on Nov. 8th that might be of interest to EEBers interested in ecological data emerging from modern remote sensing technology. The lecture by Jan van Aardt of RIT addresses the use of waveform lidar for understanding complex signals for ecolgoical applications such as “structural unmixing, species classification, and biomass estimation.” An abstract of the talk is available in PDF format.
