What We're Working on Now
Lidar data has been captured for both study areas, and we have developed preliminary maps of forest variables for the southern site. This summer we are in the field ground-truthing the northern site lidar data.
As products are completed, many of these will be made available on our data sharing website. To download publicly available SNAMP data please visit: snamp.ucmerced.edu
