 ing information about joining the webinar.\n\nPresented By/Au
 thor: Harrison Martin\, Indiana University\n\nAbstract: Lidar
  data have revolutionized the geosciences by allowing high-
 resolution (< 1-5 m)\, repeat data that can resolve both vege
 tation and bare-earth elevations. These lidar data are usual
 ly collected by plane-based (airborne\; tens of km2 with ~10 
 points/m2) or ground-based (terrestrial\; tens of m2 with tho
 usands of points/m2) instruments. Here\, we overview the use 
 of a third\, intermediate technique: drone-based lidar (~km2\,
  with ~100 points/m2). We will explain and illustrate this n
 ovel method and how it differs from existing methods for mea
 suring topography. We will illustrate the power that drone-b
 ased lidar offers geoscientists through case examples from o
 ur own research into landscape dynamics: When a tree falls i
 n a forest\, can a drone detect it? How does a catastrophic d
 am failure impact downstream river morphology? What can we l
 earn about river mechanics with a high spatial-temporal data
 set of an actively migrating river meander? We will summariz
 e the ways that we have benefitted from this rapid-response\,
  low-cost\, and high-resolution imaging technique as applied 
 to our research on hillslopes\, natural disasters\, and river 
 geomorphology.\n\nAll IRIS webinars are archived for later 
 viewing on the IRIS YouTube channel (Webinars playlist).\n\nA
