NCALM Steering Committee
Prof. Alexander Braun has been appointed to the Steering Committee of the NSF funded National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM), University of Houston/University of California Berkeley.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) created a research center to support the use of airborne laser mapping technology in the scientific community. The NSF supported Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM) is operated jointly by the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Cullen College of Engineering , University of Houston (UH) and the Department of Earth and Planetary Science, University of California-Berkeley (UCB). NCALM uses an Airborne Laser Swath Mapping (ALSM) system based at the UH Geosensing Imaging and Mapping (GIM) Lab. The state-of-the-art laser surveying instrumentation and GPS systems, which are installed in a Cessna 337 Skymaster twin-engine aircraft, collects data in areas selected through the competitive NSF grant review process.
