Study Site: Utikuma Region, Alberta
Purpose: An airborne scanning light detection and ranging (lidar) survey using a discrete pulse return airborne laser terrain mapper (ALTM) was conducted over the Utikuma boreal wetland area of northern Alberta in August 2002. These data were analysed to quantify vegetation class dependent errors in lidar ground surface elevation and vegetation canopy surface height. The sensitivity of lidar-derived land-cover frictional parameters to these height errors was also investigated.
Abstract: The dataset includes 6 x 5 m resolution raster canopy height models derived from multiple return airborne laser scanning (ALS) datasets (all sampled at >1pt / m2) collected during the growing seasons of 2002, 2008, 2011 (pre-fire), 2016, 2018, and 2019 (post-fire).
