A three-day workshop will be held at the University of Colorado-Boulder in Spring 2014 involving 25 early-career Earth scientists with a focus on the potentials for utilizing the next generation of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) analysis techniques to answer research questions across the transdisciplinary boundaries of Critical Zone (CZ) science: hydrology, ecology, geomorphology, and geology. LiDAR technology is capable of resolving vegetation, terrain, and snowpack data at extremely high resolutions using ground-based (terrestrial) and aircraft-mounted laser ranging equipment. The growth of LiDAR data collection has outpaced the potential for CZ scientists to learn about new analysis techniques needed for research applications, which has left the CZ community 'data-rich' but 'information-poor' regarding LiDAR data. The workshop is therefore an important opportunity for early-career scientists to meet and learn about transformative LiDAR analysis tools and better utilize the LiDAR datasets already collected by the National Science Foundation's Critical Zone Observatory (CZO) network and similar CZ field sites from around the world. The workshop has three clear objectives: 1. Inform early-career CZ scientists on cutting-edge LiDAR analysis techniques, 2. Identify opportunities to apply LiDAR analysis techniques across the disciplinary boundaries of CZ science, and 3. Develop a five-year vision for advancing CZ science with new LiDAR data products that is articulated in a discussion paper. For one day of the workshop the instructors will rotate between three topical groups: 1. Watershed hydrology, 2. Forest ecology and management, and 3. Geomorphic landforms and lithology. The second half of the workshop will be spent synthesizing these ideas into a vision for advancing CZ science using transdisciplinary LiDAR analysis techniques to be published in a top-level peer-reviewed Earth science journal. The workshop offers a unique opportunity to develop collaborations among multidisciplinary early-career CZ scientists working with LiDAR data from around the world and engage the wider CZ community using course materials and journal publications.

2014年春季，将在科罗拉多 - 博尔德分校举行为期三天的研讨会，其中涉及25个早期的地球科学家，重点是利用下一代的光检测和范围（激光雷达）分析技术来回答整个跨学科界限的研究问题，包括关键区域的跨学科界限（CZ）科学：水文学，生态学，地理学，地理学。 LiDAR技术能够使用地面（地面）和飞机安装的激光范围设备以极高的分辨率解决植被，地形和积雪数据。 LIDAR数据收集的增长超过了CZ科学家了解研究应用所需的新分析技术的潜力，这使CZ社区“数据丰富”，但有关LiDAR数据的信息“贫困”。因此，该研讨会是早期职业科学家见面和了解变革性激光雷达分析工具和了解的重要机会，并更好地利用了国家科学基金会的关键区域天文台（CZO）网络（CZO）网络和类似世界各地的CZ现场收集的LIDAR数据集。该研讨会有三个明确的目标：1。将早期的CZ科学家告知尖端激光痛分析技术，2。确定机会在CZ Science的纪律界面上应用激光雷达分析技术，并为3年提供五年的愿景，以通过在讨论文件中表达的新LIDAR数据产品来推进CZ Science。在研讨会的一天中，讲师将在三个局部组之间旋转：1。流域水文学，2。森林生态学和管理，3。地貌地形和岩性。下半部分将用于将这些思想综合为使用跨学科痛分析技术推进CZ科学的愿景，该技术将在一本高级同行评审的地球科学杂志上发表。该研讨会提供了一个独特的机会，可以在多学科的早期学科CZ科学家之间进行合作，从而使用来自世界各地的LiDAR数据，并使用课程材料和期刊出版物与更广泛的CZ社区参与。
