Abstract
The “FOREST” action aims to advance algorithms using emerging technologies related to full-waveform LiDAR, while assisting a young researcher to further improve her intellectual, transferable and scientific skills related to earth observation and environmental sciences, as well as give direct experience in participating in proposals. The concept of this project was initiated from the EngD (Doctor of Engineering) dissertation of the researcher and the need to expand and link these outcomes with complementary existing state-of-the-art technologies such as earth observation imagery and terrestrial LiDAR. This project will connect academic achievements with industrial research and development, further developing and transferring some of the new research outcomes into actual usage and linking expertise and need across several European organisations. In the longer term, the intention is to use the experience and knowledge acquired during the fellowship to initiate a larger project supporting sustainable reforestation, which itself contributes to European Union objectives in environmental protection and, ultimately, in limiting climate change
