About the Event
Dear Heidi,
The use of lidar has become a key tool in quantifying important ecological characteristics of forests. Landscape-level airborne lidar acquisitions initially allowed for a level of forest
inventory previously impossible. Now with multiple repeat lidar acquisitions over large areas, we are able to model important elements of change such as increases or decreases in biomass
and carbon sequestration. Such fine-scale characterizations of the forest allow for the identification of areas that are important for conservation. Where are the biggest trees? How
are the trees doing? Where does the forest structure meet important habitat criteria for threatened species? These are all questions that we can get at using lidar, both airborne and
terrestrial.
Post-talk, there will be an option for attendees to pose for a group terrestrial lidar portrait.
The Environmental Speaker Series is free and open to the public. Talks are held each Thursday at 4:30pm in Academic Instructional Center West, room 204. Join us at WWU or online on Zoom!

Jonathan Batchelor <https://alumniq.wwu.edu/link/?ml=A50C5C5F-C24C-4C44-9BC3E5151EF39455&mc=5feb9fe7-f685-11ed-b93b-12450e6a9d2d> (they/them) is a Remote Sensing Geek who dabbles in
fire ecology, wildlife habitat characterizations, and restoration processes.
They are a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Washington in the Remote Sensing and Geospatial Analysis Lab under Dr. L Monika Moskal.
Jonathan specializes in fine-scale remote sensing technologies such as drone-based digital aerial photogrammetry and terrestrial lidar. Trees, Drones, and lidar points galore! Current
projects are using fine-scale remote sensing techniques to increase landscape-level characterization of vegetation structure regarding fire effects and habitat modeling. These processes
involve taking characterizations of forest structure from field-sampled remote sensing techniques and upscaling them to a landscape level using aerial lidar, aerial imagery, and satellite
imagery.
Jonathan currently teaches classes on geospatial analysis at the University of Washington, Western Washington University, and The Evergreen State College.
