Description

This dataset provides canopy height and elevation data products derived from airborne LiDAR data collected over 90 sites on the island of Borneo in late 2014. The sites cover approximately 100,000 hectares of forested land in Kalimantan, Indonesia. The data were produced as part of an effort to improve a national forest monitoring system for Indonesia that uses a combination of remote sensing and ground-based forest carbon inventory approaches.
