Hydroscan: Airborne laser mapping of hydrologic features and resources
We are pleased to announce the availability of the book Hydroscan: Airborne laser mapping of hydrologic features and resources,
edited by Dr. Chris Hopkinson (Applied Geomatics Research Group), Dr
Alain Pietroniro (Canadian Hydrology Research Centre), and Dr. John
Pomeroy (Dept of Geography, University of Saskatchewan).
This book is a compilation of materials presented at the Hydroscan
Workshop hosted at the National Water Research Institute, Saskatoon,
September 2006. Hydroscan was a workshop and symposium on airborne
laser mapping technology and its application to hydrological research
and water resources assessment. The aim of Hydroscan was to share new
developments in laser mapping technology and application domains, while
informing the end user community how the technology can be put to use
in their water resources projects. This book is intended to be both a
source of reference and a source of motivation for further research.
Copies of the book are available from AGRG for $20 plus tax (and
shipping if you can’t pick it up in person). Contact Chris [dot] Hopkinson [at] nscc [dot] ca or Brenda [dot] Veinot [at] nscc [dot] ca
if you wish to purchase a copy.
