Key features: Captures the historic context and recent developments in science and policy
arenas that address the potential for coastal wetlands to be considered as significant …

Airborne light detection and ranging (lidar) is a valuable tool for collecting large amounts of
elevation data across large areas; however, the limited ability to penetrate dense vegetation …

Abstract Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) are
frequently applied in modeling coastal environments. We present an object-based correction …

Photogrammetric UAV sees a surge in use for high-resolution mapping, but its use to map
terrain under dense vegetation cover remains challenging due to a lack of exposed ground …

Salt marsh vegetation tends to increase vertical uncertainty in light detection and ranging
(lidar) derived elevation data, often causing the data to become ineffective for analysis of …

Lidar-derived digital elevation models (DEMs) are crucial for modeling salt marsh evolution,
forecasting inundation depth, frequency, and duration, and simulating sea level rise …

Accurate digital elevation models of saltmarshes are crucial for both conservation and
management goals. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is increasingly used for …

Wetlands are endangered ecosystems that provide vital habitats for flora and fauna
worldwide. They serve as water and carbon storage units regulating the global climate and …

While growth history of vegetation within upland systems is well studied, plant phenology
within coastal tidal systems is less understood. Landscape-scale, satellite-derived indicators …

The vertical bias and uncertainty of LiDAR-derived elevation data in tidal marshes is a major
challenge for researchers in these critical ecosystems. Small positive bias errors in land …
