NCALM Invites Graduate Students to Submit 2020 Seed Proposals

The National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping invites proposals from graduate student PIs seeking airborne lidar data for use in research toward an M.S. or Ph.D. degree. NCALM maps up to eight projects each year, covering up to 40 sq km, for graduate students who require lidar data. Seed Proposal Grants are supported by the NSF.

See NCALM's Seed Proposalshttp://ncalm.cive.uh.edu/seed/about and Format Guidelineshttp://ncalm.cive.uh.edu/seed/guidelines pages for background information and instructions on submitting a proposal. The submission period is Thursday, October 1-Thursday, December 31, 2020. Contact ncalm<at>egr.uh.edu<ncalm<at>egr.uh.edu> for more information.

This year NCALM will consider conducting a limited number of surveys using lidar collected from a UAS (drone) platform. Areas of interest must be no more than 2 sq km, less than 8,000 ft MSL, and be accessible by public road. The deployment (from a major city) and mapping must be achievable within three days.
