20. LIDAR


An optical remote sensing technology called LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) may measure properties of a target, such as distance, by illuminating the target with light; oftentimes using a laser.  This LIDAR image was from Sept. 15, 2001; they were able to use LIDAR with elevation data to look through smoke and assess the damage of Ground Zero.
