Video - Surficial geology mapping in northern Alberta using LiDAR

Dr. Steven Pawley describes the ways that LiDAR has helped some of the challenges previously encountered in data collection for the surficial geology mapping program. Much of the north has been mapped already, with more planned through 2015. LiDAR is able to provide a lot of detail that isn't always detected using other methods.

Dr. Steven Pawley is Quaternary Geologist with the Alberta Geological Survey and the Alberta Energy Regulator.
