Tropical forests in the Amazon, the Congo Basin and Southeast Asia can look nearly identical from above. A new study in Nature, built on about 16 million spaceborne lidar observations, finds they respond to climate in very different ways. Congo Basin biomass tracks temperature most closely, while in Southeast Asia water availability matters most. That…
What New Bathymetric Lidar Data Reveals About One of the West’s Most Threatened Lakes Geo Week announced its first 2027 keynote, A Lake in Crisis: Mapping Utah’s Great Salt Lake, a presentation and panel discussion on a large-scale Great Salt Lake lidar project using bathymetric lidar to map the lakebed, wetlands, and deeper-water environments. The…
Rivian will put lidar on its R2 SUV for employees before the end of 2026, with customer vehicles following in 2027. The company also says the sensor now costs it only “a few hundred dollars,” a sharp drop from what automotive lidar cost just a few years ago. Rivian VP of Investor Relations Chip Newcom…
