1261653 MattioliThis EAR/Instrumentation and Facilities Program grant supports acquisition of two terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) and associated digital photography equipment to be incorporated into a current pool of five UNAVCO facility TLS system available for loan to the broader geoscience community. The TLS system will support research and research training that requires the capability to rapidly map the surface topography of landforms, structure and vegetation with high spatial resolution (mm) in a well constrained positional reference frame. The TLS systems will be available to support a wide range of geoscience and broader applications including studies of transient surface features (e.g, landslides), barrier beach processes, studies of earthquake rupture geometry and processes; volcanic deformation, bridge deformation in response to dynamic earth processes, tsunami generated landforms and related features, glacier topography, geological outcrop mapping, archaeological mapping and plant ecology. The instruments will: 1) replace an aged and recently retired TLS system originally purchased with support from by OPP for polar project deployments; and 2) augment the current TLS pool with new technologies and a variety of new capabilities including longer range, full waveform digitization and more rapid scanning rates. The systems will support geoscience education through incorporation into field camp exercises using TLS. ***

1261653 Mattioli 这项 EAR/仪器和设施计划赠款支持购买两台地面激光扫描仪 (TLS) 和相关数字摄影设备，将其纳入当前由五个 UNAVCO 设施 TLS 系统组成的池中，可供更广泛的地球科学界借用。 TLS 系统将支持研究和研究培训，这些研究和培训需要能够在良好约束的位置参考系中以高空间分辨率 (mm) 快速绘制地貌、结构和植被的表面地形图。 TLS 系统将可支持广泛的地球科学和更广泛的应用，包括瞬态表面特征（例如滑坡）、屏障海滩过程的研究、地震破裂几何形状和过程的研究；火山变形、响应地球动态过程的桥梁变形、海啸产生的地貌和相关特征、冰川地形、地质露头测绘、考古测绘和植物生态学。 这些仪器将： 1) 取代最初由 OPP 支持购买的用于极地项目部署的老化且最近退役的 TLS 系统； 2) 通过新技术和各种新功能增强当前的 TLS 池，包括更长的范围、全波形数字化和更快的扫描速率。 该系统将通过使用 TLS 纳入野外营地练习来支持地球科学教育。 ***
