Engineering applications of LiDAR data: Conservation Applications of LiDAR workshop exercises

Abstract

These exercises were developed as part of the “Conservation Applications of LiDAR” project – a series of hands-on workshops and online resources designed to help Minnesota GIS specialists effectively use LiDAR-derived data to address natural resource issues. The project was funded by a grant from the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, and was presented by the University of Minnesota Water Resources Center with expertise provided from the University of Minnesota, MN Department of Natural Resources, MN Board of Water and Soil Resources, and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service.
