A couple of days ago the team moved the Vegnet In-Situ Monitoring LiDAR (IML) to the Spyglass Beef research station out of Charters Towers (Queensland, Australia).

By moving it to Spyglass, a world class research facility and part of the GEOGLAM-RAPP network the team hopes to better understand the canopy dynamics in this highly variable and productive savanna grazing system.
