As imaging technologies have developed, scientists and engineers have leveraged these advances to remotely sense the environments in which we live to complement and/or replace in situ measurements of the same. Remote sensing has evolved to include photography, sonar, radar, radiometry and most recently LiDAR (light detection and ranging). This award will provide a ground-based LiDAR system, also known as a 3D terrestrial laser scanner, for use by researchers, research trainees and students from throughout the University of Vermont (UVM). The instrument will rapidly produce 3D digital datasets and scans over time will result in 4D data that can capture the evolution of environments over days, seasons, and/or years. The instrument will be used to monitor natural environments such as snowpacks, streambeds, agricultural land and forests. In addition, the instrument will be used to assess built historic, civil and transportation infrastructure. The project team comes from diverse fields as civil, electrical and environmental engineering, geography, geology, forestry and computer science.The 3D terrestrial laser scanner will provide new and unique capabilities to the State of Vermont's only research University and will enable new interdisciplinary research at UVM and new collaborations throughout the State. The acquisition is also synergistic with existing entities at UVM working in the areas of transportation, spatial analysis and complex systems. Finally, the instrument will provide new opportunities for UVM students by enhancing the Engineering curriculum and an existing minor in Geospatial Technologies.

随着成像技术的发展，科学家和工程师利用了这些进步来遥遥地感知我们生活的环境，以补充和/或替换相同的原位测量。 遥感已经演变为包括摄影，声纳，雷达，辐射测定法和最近的激光雷达（光检测和射程）。该奖项将提供一个基于地面的LIDAR系统，也称为3D陆地激光扫描仪，供佛蒙特大学（UVM）的研究人员，研究受训者和学生使用。该仪器将迅速产生3D数字数据集，并且随着时间的推移扫描将产生4D数据，该数据可以捕获几天，季节和/或年的环境的演变。 该仪器将用于监视自然环境，例如积雪，溪流，农业土地和森林。 此外，该工具将用于评估建造的历史，民用和运输基础设施。该项目团队来自各种领域，包括土木，电气和环境工程，地理，地质，林业和计算机科学。3D陆地激光扫描仪将为佛蒙特州唯一的研究大学提供新的独特功能，并将启用UVM的新跨学科研究以及整个州的新合作。此次收购也与在运输，空间分析和复杂系统领域工作的UVM现有实体协同作用。最后，该乐器将通过增强工程课程和地理空间技术的现有辅修课程为UVM学生提供新的机会。
