Will is using remote sensing methods to measure forest carbon in Cairngorms National Park. Using a range of sensors from ground to the air – terrestrial laser scanning, aerial laser scanning and unmanned aerial vehicle laser scanning – he will be quantifying individual-tree and whole-forest biomass and carbon storage.
