Last calendar week the UK's Environment Agency announced that it volition map the entire province using lidar. The annunciation mentions the create goodness of lidar information inwards mapping inundation risk, detecting illegal waste materials dumps, assessing wild fauna habitats & tree embrace as well as identifying sites of archaeological importance.
These are a but a few ways inwards which lidar information tin flame hold upwards used. The Washington Geological Survey has created an interesting interactive map explaining as well as illustrating to a greater extent than or less of the other ways inwards which lidar information tin flame hold upwards used to divulge geology as well as natural hazards. The Bare Earth is an Esri even out map which explains how Washington State uses lidar to map as well as written report large areas "particularly inwards places where trees as well as vegetation obscure the landscape".
As y'all progress through this even out map the Bare public explains as well as illustrates how lidar information is used to position landslides, monitor volcanic imagery, position active faults, model potential seismic sea wave impacts, monitor the state's glaciers as well as map the state's inundation plains. All of these examples are illustrated alongside actual lidar information as well as satellite imagery of these geological features inwards Washington.
