The Impact of Lidar Elevation Uncertainty on Mapping Intertidal Habitats on Barrier Islands

The Impact of Lidar Elevation Uncertainty on Mapping Intertidal Habitats on Barrier Islands

While airborne lidar data have revolutionized the spatial resolution that elevations can be realized, data limitations are often magnified in coastal settings. Researchers have found that airborne lidar can have a vertical error as high as 60 cm in densely vegetated intertidal areas. The uncertainty...
