  • Slope estimation from ICESat/GLAS 
    Mahoney, Craig; Kljun, Natascha; Los, Sietse O.; Chasmer, Laura; Hacker, Jorg M.; Hopkinson, Christopher; North, Peter R. J.; Rosette, Jacqueline A. B.; van Gorsel, Eva (M D P I A GArts and ScienceDepartment of GeographySwansea UniversityLund UniversityUniversity of LethbridgeFlinders UniversityCommonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (Australia), 2014)
    We present a novel technique to infer ground slope angle from waveform LiDAR, known as the independent slope method (ISM). The technique is applied to large footprint waveforms ( 60 m mean diameter) from the Ice, Cloud ...
  • Statistical modelling of the snow depth distribution in open alpine terrain 
    Grunewald, T.; Stotter, J.; Pomeroy, J.W.; Dadic, R.; Banos, I.M.; Marturia, J.; Spross, M.; Hopkinson, Christopher; Burlando, P.; Lehnig, M.
