Glacial geomorphological mapping of Coire Mhic Fhearchair, NW Scotland: The contribution of a high-resolution ground based LiDAR survey
Terrestrial Light Detection and Ranging (tLiDAR) surveys are valuable supplements to existing geomorphological mapping techniques, providing information which is of considerable interest to palaeoclimatologists and glaciologists.
