The Utility of Lidar — Flood Prevention and Revelations from a Maya Settlement
Two lidar imaging use cases are explored. In segment one, the Texas Water Development Board's Joey Thomas and Saul Nuccitelli explain how the organization uses topobathymetric lidar to help prevent flooding along the South Llano River. Later, the collaborative team of Kathryn Reese-Taylor, Felix Kupprat, and Juan Carlos Fernandez Diaz employs the method to investigate beneath the Calakmul biosphere’s forest canopy.
