Inaugural CoDiFI summer training

The inaugural CoDiFI summer training course brings lidar and drone methods to PhD students, master’s students, and foresters at Arnot Forest.

The inaugural summer training course of the BioM2-led Cornell Digital Forestry Initiative (CoDiFI) hosts a mix of PhD students, professional Master’s students, and foresters at Arnot Forest. The 4-day workshop introduces the foundations of lidar remote sensing (talk given by Xiangtao Xu), procedures of applying tripod-based and backpack lidar systems (demo given by Nick Cranmer, Yixin Ma, and Tao Han), and processes of conducting RGB drone flights (demo given by Hannah Zonnevylle from the Katz Lab).
