Abstract: Based on the composition and fundamental of Li DAR,we summarize its application status and progress in the field of geology,such as geological disasters,active faults,glaciers and coastline mapping, and prospect its application in the future. Li DAR system includes three technologies: laser,GPS and inertial navigation systems,which make a breakthrough in spatial mapping technology following GPS, it obtains three-dimensional information on ground targets quickly and accurately. As a new remote sensing technology,Li DAR will have great development in automatically extracting the landslides and the micro geomorphology structure information of faults.In addition,Li DAR will be widely used in terrain classification,coastal zone investigation and the study on biological diversity in intertidal coastal zone in the future.
