Data collection has been achieved through field mapping techniques and the use of remotely sensed data. Advances in this latter field have been considerable in recent years with new rapid-acquisition methods being developed centered around laser based technology. The advent of airborne and field based laser scanning instruments has allowed researchers toEnvironmental monitoringRemote sensingRemote sensingEnvironmental monitoringRemote sensing.Remote sensing.526.9Heritage G.
