In the most recent installment of our Webinar Series, Mark Topping, WGI’s Geospatial Technology Specialist III, took viewers on an enlightening journey through the intricacies of topographic mapping using lidar technology, with a special focus on a monumental project: the mapping of the Grand Canyon National Park.
Elevation data is a cornerstone of informed decision-making across various sectors, from public to private and academia. While substantial progress has been made in collecting high-resolution elevation models using airborne lidar technology, the unique diversity of the United States’ landscape demands even higher-resolution data for emerging applications like hydrography.
WGI Geospatial, a leading provider of geospatial data acquisition and processing, showcased the value of a customized project planning approach through the lens of a challenging endeavor: mapping over 800 square miles of the iconic Grand Canyon.
Throughout this webinar, attendees gained insights into the intricacies of this massive mapping project, including the specific requirements and deliverables expected for a standard federal project intended for public consumption. By delving into these challenges, Mark illuminated the critical role of comprehensive project planning in the successful execution of large-scale mapping endeavors. The webinar not only underscored the technical aspects of lidar-derived mapping but also emphasized the importance of understanding and navigating the unique complexities inherent in projects of this magnitude.
