Acquisition of Next Generation Terrestrial Laser Scanning Systems for Community Earth and Polar Science Research

1261653马蒂奥利这项耳朵/仪器和设施计划赠款支持购买两台地面激光扫描仪(TLS)和相关的数字摄影设备，这些设备将并入目前由五台UNAVCO设施组成的TLS系统，可借给更广泛的地球科学界。TLS系统将支持研究和研究培训，这些研究和培训需要有能力在一个受良好约束的位置参照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。TLS系统将可用于支持广泛的地球科学和更广泛的应用，包括研究瞬变地表特征(例如，滑坡)、障碍滩过程、地震破裂几何和过程研究、火山变形、桥梁变形对地球动态过程的响应、海啸产生的地形和相关特征、冰川地形、地质露头绘图、考古绘图和植物生态学。这些仪器将：1)取代OPP最初在支持下购买的老化和最近退役的TLS系统，以用于极地项目部署；以及2)用新技术和各种新功能(包括更远距离、全波形数字化和更快的扫描速度)来扩充当前的TLS池。这些系统将通过使用TLS纳入野战营地演习来支持地球科学教育。***

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. ***
