| Notes | A changing climate means changing sea levels. Rising sea levels threaten coastal marshes. In order to better plan for this change, airborne light detection and ranging (lidar) is commonly used to determine a base measurement, the digital elevation model, for coastal marshes. Unfortunately, marsh vegetation can prevent this tool from accurately measuring marsh elevation. This is a technical article about correcting lidar measurements by adjusting for distortions caused by vegetation. The marsh at Millport Slough on Siletz Bay is among the marshes studied. Physical parameters of the marsh and dominant vegetation are given. |
