"Examines the physical aspects of laser remote sensing and gives specific examples of airborne lidar systems and their practical application." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 25, No. 3, September 2001)

"...a useful reference...provides an excellent overview of the theory and practice of spectral lidar remote sensing for the evaluation of marine environments." (Physics Today, January 2003)

Recent advances in lasers and measuring devices, as well as new capabilities in automated data acquisition, have made possible the design and practical implementation of self-sufficient lidar systems.
