At the 2012 LiDAR workshop, Chris Hopkison - LiDAR consultant with Otterburn Geographic - discusses airborne laser scanning - what it is, and how it is used. Airborne laser scanning maps ground and near ground surface coordinates at a very high resolution. The presentation covers what types of data can be collected this way, and some applications for use. 

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.
