Comment:
This is judged as the best of the three innovative proposals that proposed to make use of LIDAR (airborne laser altimetry) data to obtain detailed habitat and physical information about streamside vegetation, channel cross-sections, and channel slopes. The vertical resolution has accuracy to tens of centimeters and can measure the height of vegetation with accuracy of horizontal resolutions in meters. See proposals 22049 and 22059. This proposal has a good interface of various fields of endeavor. It is well written, and clearly articulates how this detailed source of topographic and vegetation data would be used to assess connections between catchment hydrology, channel geomorphology, and ecological function. The proposal draws on past work in the Umatilla basin, and would be a collaboration of tribal, university, and state agency personnel. In addition to use of LIDAR data, stream temperature assessment and modeling would be facilitated through use of airborne infrared surveys, and the project would draw on other sources of remote sensing data (e.g., SRTM – Shuttle Radar Topography Mapping mission) available through one of the Co-Principal Investigator's NASA projects. The proposal is innovative in seeking to apply evolving remote sensing tools to habitat restoration projects within the basin. The panel was particularly impressed by the collaborative nature of the work, which should help assure that the work aids in transferring knowledge about data sources that should be of value in future projects.Comment:
The proposal could be improved if more of a terrestrial scope is incorporated. The proposal should be modified to include a phase that focuses on the terrestrial species and processes.Comment:
