## Abstract A laser altimeter, making 4000 measurements per second, was used to measure channel and gully morphology. The laser measurements provide quick, accurate and readily obtained data on the crossβsection and morphology of channels and gullies in relation to the adjacent landscape. Although

The Geoscience Laser Altimeter System (GLAS) has collected over 250 million measurements of vegetation height over forests globally. Accurate vegetation heights can be determined using waveform metrics that include vertical extent and extent of the waveform's trailing and leading edges. All three in
Small-footprint (0.2-2 m) airborne laser scanners are lidar instruments originally developed for topographic mapping. While the first airborne laser scanners only allowed determining the range from the sensor to the target, the latest sensor generation records the complete echo waveform. The wavefor
