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 to 606 $aEnvironmental monitoring$xRemote sensing 606 $aRemote sensing 615 0$aEnvironmental monitoring$xRemote sensing. 615 0$aRemote sensing. 676 $a526.9 701 $aHeritage$b G.
