This website provides access to information about and free on-line training modules for use of LiDAR digital elevation data in soil and water conservation applications.
LiDAR, Light Detection and Ranging, is the application of laser reflectance to measure distance to an object or surface. In Minnesota and a growing number of other states, LiDAR equipment mounted on aircraft has been used to provide high resolution digital elevation data for the entire state or portions of the state. LiDAR data, including derivatives like contour maps, digital elevation models, hillshade projections and others are assisting with a wide range of natural resource conservation applications.
Workshop MaterialsThese training resources were developed as part of the "Conservation Applications of LiDAR" project -a series of hands-on workshops designed to help Minnesota GIS specialists effectively use LiDAR-derived data to address natural resource issues.
Ex. 1, Part 1: Displaying DEMs to Show Hydrologic Features Ex. 1, Part 2: Displaying DEMs to Show Hydrologic Features: TPI Ex. 2, Part 1: Hydrologic Conditioning of DEMs: Overview Ex. 2, Part 2: Hydrologic Conditioning of DEMs: Step-by-step instructions
