High resolution elevation data derived from stereoscopic CORONA imagery with minimal ground control: an approach using IKONOS and SRTM data (2008)
Journal Article
Galiatsatos, N., Donoghue, D., & Philip, G. (2008). High resolution elevation data derived from stereoscopic CORONA imagery with minimal ground control: an approach using IKONOS and SRTM data. Photogrammetric engineering and remote sensing, 74(9), 1093-1106. https://doi.org/10.14358/pers.74.9.1093

The first space mission to provide stereoscopic imagery of the Earth’s surface was from the American CORONA spy satellite program from which it is possible to generate Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). CORONA imagery and derived DEMs are of most value...

Remote sensing of species mixtures in conifer plantations using LIDAR height and intensity data (2007)
Journal Article
Donoghue, D., Watt, P., Cox, N., & Wilson, J. (2007). Remote sensing of species mixtures in conifer plantations using LIDAR height and intensity data. Remote Sensing of Environment, 110(4), 509-522. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2007.02.032

Abstract In even-aged, single species conifer plantations LiDAR height data can be modelled to provide accurate estimates of tree height and volume. However, it is apparent that growth models developed for single species stands are not directly trans...
