摘要: Lidar (light detection and ranging), a method by which the precise time of flight emitted pulses laser energy is measured converted to distance for reflective targets, has helped scientists make topographic maps Earth's surface at scales as fine centimeters. These have allowed discovery analysis myriad otherwise unstudied features, such fault scarps, river channels, even ancient ruins [Glennie et al., 2013b].
