Airborne Hydrographic LiDAR Workshop

Watershed Sciences, Inc. and Dewberry, in collaboration with the Pacific Northwest Aquatic Monitoring Partnership (PNAMP), are hosting a series of workshops June 4-8 to introduce the potential applications and benefits of green-wavelength airborne laser scanning (ALS) for shallow water bathymetry. A new suite of commercial small-footprint ALS systems are being developed to enable topo-bathymetric mapping in shallow coastal and riverine environments. This workshop will provide an overview of shallow water hydrographic ALS technology, green-lidar applications and performance in aquatic ecosystems, and testing of the new Riegl VQ-820-G ALS in the Pacific Northwest. Potential test sites for data acquisition in Fall 2012 will be discussed.

This workshop will be offered at:
Boise, ID - June 4 (9am to 12pm): Idaho Water Resource Center, 322 E. Front St., Room 150, Boise, ID
Portland, OR - June 5 (9am to 12pm): USGS Oregon Water Science Center, 2130 SW 5th Ave., Portland, OR
Seattle, WA - June 6 (9am to 12pm): University of Washington, Anderson Hall, Rm 22, Seattle, WA
