Ghost Forest Forensics on the NC coast

Researchers from the NASA funded THELORACS project (THE LORACS stands for Tree Health Evaluated using LiDAR, Optical, and Radar Applications across Coastal Systems) met up in the NC coastal plain to collect field data on inundation and soil chemistry from ghost forests we had identified from space. The story of our field trip was told by reporter James Dineen in Science and the work was motivated by the PhD dissertation work of Henry Yeung of UVA
