The National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center's video: NEON and the AOP: Data Products and Measurements

Presented by Tristan Goulden Ph.D., Science Lead for NEON’s Remote Sensing Team Tristan is a Remote Sensing Scientist at NEON specializing in airborne remote sensing. He is the science lead for NEON’s Remote Sensing team which focuses on algorithm development, documentation, collection and processing NEON’s remote sensing data products. His past research focus has been on characterizing uncertainty in LiDAR observations/processing and propagating the uncertainty into downstream data products. During his PhD, he focused on developing uncertainty models for topographic attributes (elevation, slope, aspect), hydrological products such as watershed boundaries, stream networks, as well as stream flow and erosion at the watershed scale. His past experience in LiDAR has included all aspects of the LIDAR workflow including; mission planning, airborne operations, processing of raw data, and development of higher level data products. During his graduate research he applied these skills on LiDAR flights over several case study watersheds of study as well as some amazing LiDAR flights over the Canadian Rockies for monitoring change of alpine glaciers.
