0314680CarterThis grant provides funding for a workshop to discuss research opportunities and the potential operation and management of a National Center for Airborne Laser Swath Mapping (ALSM). The workshop will be held on 25-26 April, 2003 in Gainesville. FL at the University of Florida Hotel and Conference Center and will bring together roughly 35-50 leading academic users of airborne laser ranging technology and their students. ALSM allows for acquisition of very high resolution (5-10 cm vertical accuracy, 15-20 cm horizontal accuracy) digital elevation models (DEMs) of the earth's surface. High resolution DEMs provide crucial input for models of a multitude of fundamental surficial processes including hillslope soil creep, drainage network development, barrier beach dynamics, landslides, surface fault rupture, and glacial dynamics. Modern ALSM systems such as the one already owned by the University of Florida are also capable of mapping the vegetative canopy surface as well as the ground surface below the canopy. The workshop will foster future collaborations using ALSM and will improve plans to manage a National Center for ALSM. The accessibility of ALSM technology to a broad range of academic geo- and ecological scientists will initiate a revolution in our understanding of fundamental earth processes at scales relevant to the problem. An improved physical understanding of surficial processes is inherently societally relevant and should improve mitigation of natural hazards and lead to advances in resource management.***

该拨款为一个研讨会提供资金，以讨论研究机会和国家机载激光测绘中心（ALSM）的潜在运营和管理。讲习班将于2003年4月25日至26日在盖恩斯维尔举行。该项目将在佛罗里达大学酒店和会议中心举行，并将聚集大约35-50名机载激光测距技术的领先学术用户及其学生。ALSM允许获取非常高分辨率（垂直精度5-10厘米，水平精度15-20厘米）的地球表面数字高程模型（dem）。高分辨率dem为许多基本地表过程的模型提供了重要的输入，包括山坡土壤蠕变、排水网络发展、屏障海滩动力学、滑坡、地表断层破裂和冰川动力学。现代ALSM系统，例如佛罗里达大学已经拥有的ALSM系统，也能够绘制植被冠层表面以及冠层下的地表。研讨会将促进使用ALSM的未来合作，并将改进管理ALSM国家中心的计划。ALSM技术对广泛的地质学和生态学学者的可及性将在我们对与该问题相关的尺度上的基本地球过程的理解方面引发一场革命。提高对地表过程的物理理解具有内在的社会相关性，应有助于减轻自然灾害，并导致资源管理方面的进展
