Scientists Are Using Lasers To Uncover Lost Cities
Uncovering lost, ancient cities can take quite some time, but now scientists are speeding up the process using lasers! Join Julian as he discusses a new method ...
==========
There’s a scientific consensus that the 4th Indiana Jones movie was the worst. You know what would have made it better? Lasers. Hello adventurers, Julian here with DNews. As interesting as the future is to imagine, discovering the past is also something that fascinates us. Our species has such a short memory that we’re always rediscovering who we were just a few thousand years ago. But these clues to where we came from and how we’ve changed are tough to come by. usually it takes months of careful work in remote locations and the progress is slow going. This is where LiDAR comes in. LiDAR is like RADAR except instead of using radio waves reflected off of objects to find them, it uses lasers, and as it turns out, these lasers are perfect for penetrating dense vegetation. LiDAR is...
