We’re excited to share that OGC Members have endorsed LAZ 1.4 as an international Community Standard and we thank everyone who contributed to this process! The carbon footprint Martin saved by giving away LASzip will be a lasting impact. Thank you Martin for LASzip ❤️

And yes, the literature on scan angle is extensive (see summary Table 1 from paper): academic.oup.com/view-large/… What's new? Sensors are evolving and acquisition parameters are changing. Scan angles in particular are increasing. What impact does that have on ABA outcomes? #CFSEFI
