Today UVM Geology major Landon Williams and I completed surveys of the two piles at Craftsbury. Hot, sunny, and windy helped keep the bugs down while we set up LiDAR around the quickly-melting piles. This scan is the second taken after the upper CHIP pile was disrupted and I’m interested in the added effects of the same amount of wood chips on a significantly smaller pile. Will it slow melt?

No major technical issues aside from the slowly dying 6-year-old Dell laptop, however once we set out to process the scans, the upper pile’s scan proved challenging. The lower pile’s scan processed without problems and it’s melting trend matches previous scans’ melt rate.

Landon’s learning both LiDAR and patience as he works with our old Dell laptop
