LiDAR and SFM

Everything you always wanted to know about LiDAR and SFM: Analyzing high resolution topography for advancing the understanding of mass and energy transfer through landscapes: A review (by Passalacqua et al., 2015, Earth-Science Reviews).

The title is a bit misleading...the focus is very much on airborne LiDAR. Plus, the term 'transfer' implies a process (or processes), but LiDAR and SFM can only give you 'states' at high spatial resolution, but (in-practice) not high enough temporal resolution to get at actual processes, transfers, and rates thereof.
