NEON presents its first higher education video
July 18, 2014
NEON is excited to present its first video in a series of multimedia resources. The Story of LiDAR Data provides a general overview of LiDAR data and highlights how LiDAR data is used to measure structural characteristics of trees.
Education is an important part of the NEON project design. NEON’s higher education program provides a foundation for a growing library of resources including presentations, graphics and data analysis activities that teach key data concepts in higher education classrooms. As a pilot project, we are working with community science experts to develop a set of online videos on the science of measuring vegetation.
