LIDAR


Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) is a remote sensing technology that uses laser pulses to determine topographic information such as distance, depth...etc. The map above shows a large hole in a reef taken by LIDAR equipment. Temperature of the seafloor (or water) is represented by color, with red being the warmest. This map is also hypsometric and chloropleth.
