One last note......the LIDAR results did not miss a single tall known redwood over 108m. The LIDAR found EVERYTHING. Also, Centurion is going to be climbed today by Tom Greenwood and Brett Misfud and Forestry Tasmania will be there with them to provide support. I think Centurion will turn out to be closer to 102m when directly measured. You would need to get a mile back to hit the true top of Centurion with a laser. I bet Forestry Tasmania's measurement is conservative. I will post an update when I hear back from the group.

Glad to hear you're not out of a job Michael! Sounds like LIDAR is opening up new possibilities for your quest. Thanks for sharing the details.

Thankyou for keeping us updated via this board, Michael - we really do appreciate it. I for one have been fascinated by the world's tall trees since I was a child (of course all of the photos were in black and white in those days  )
These are very exciting times!
Michael

There is, nevertheless, a certain respect and a general duty of humanity that ties us, not only to beasts that have life and sense, but even to trees and plants. --Michael Eyquem, seigneur de Montaigne
