Idaho National Laboratory, a sister lab to ORNL in the DOE’s complex of national laboratories, performs research and development in energy, national security, science, and environment. Idaho National Laboratory is a leader in nuclear energy research, development, and demonstration, and helps ensure the nation’s energy security with safe, competitive energy systems and unique national and homeland security capabilities. ORNL and INL are partners in numerous projects spanning DOE’s mission areas.
Boise State University collaborates on the Spruce and Peatland Responses Under Changing Environments, or SPRUCE, project, a whole-ecosystem experiment in the peatlands of Minnesota, by providing terrestrial lidar scans of the experimental plots twice a year. These scans help researchers assess vegetation growth and small-scale topographic changes in the landscape that influence the ecosystem processes under study.
