Duke Hunter discusses how Alberta Parks is using LiDAR data. As a land manager, Alberta Parks requires information for decision-making in many different ways. For example, Parks uses LiDAR data to dilineate boundaries, identify plant habitat, land-use changes (particularly with Wet Areas Mapping data), facility planning and to visualize potential issues.
Duke Hunter is Geomatics & Land Registries Coordinator, Parks Division - Alberta Tourism, Parks and Recreation.
In March 2012, over 300 people gathered in Edmonton to participate in a 2-day workshop about how LiDAR technology is being used in Alberta, and the potential future applications for LiDAR data. The Land-use Knowledge Network was able to record the presentations.
