Figure 10.14 Detection of permafrost thaw subsidence and thermokarst initiation in burned tundra using multi-temporal Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) remote sensing (Jones et al., 2015). (a) Quickbird image from 5 July 2008, the year following fire, showing part of the northern extent of the burn area and the distinction between burned (dark) and unburned (light) tundra. Shaded contour images of the (b) 2009 and (c) 2014 1-m resolution LiDAR digital terrain models (DTMs) showing ice wedge degradation in the burn area. (d) The change in terrain created by subtracting the 2009 DTM from the 2014 DTM.
