Since Lidar would penetrate most vegetation, the accurate bald Earth elevation profiles will give new elevation information beyond the standard 30-m DEM.

Abstract: As part of the NASA's DESDynI mission, global elevation profiles from contiguous 25 m footprint Lidar measurements will be made.

DESDynI measurements will also facilitate the monitoring of species habitats, understanding the response of ice sheets to climate change and the impact on sea ...
