Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Optics
  • Remote sensing

David J. Harding focuses on Remote sensing, Lidar, Vegetation, Altimeter and Canopy. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ecosystem and Tree canopy. His Lidar research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Biomass, Carbon cycle and Deciduous.

The Altimeter study combines topics in areas such as Atmospheric sciences, Sea ice thickness, Ice cloud and Ice sheet. His Atmospheric sciences study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Dry season, Sea ice, Polar climate and Sea ice concentration. His Canopy study incorporates themes from Forest ecology, Meteorology and Basal area.

His most cited work include:

  • Lidar Remote Sensing for Ecosystem Studies (1329 citations)
  • ICESat's laser measurements of polar ice, atmosphere, ocean, and land (748 citations)
  • Lidar Remote Sensing of the Canopy Structure and Biophysical Properties of Douglas-Fir Western Hemlock Forests (720 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

David J. Harding mainly focuses on Remote sensing, Lidar, Altimeter, Laser and Satellite. The concepts of his Remote sensing study are interwoven with issues in Geodesy, Canopy, Surface, Vegetation and Ice sheet. His Tree canopy study in the realm of Canopy connects with subjects such as Photosynthetically active radiation.

He interconnects Forest ecology, Leaf area index and Basal area in the investigation of issues within Vegetation. David J. Harding has researched Lidar in several fields, including Photon counting, Biomass, Image resolution and Meteorology. His studies in Altimeter integrate themes in fields like Ice cloud, Detector and Digital elevation model.
