The U.S. Geological Survey is hosting the eighth in a series of webinars on
hydrography on Thursday May 19, 2016 at 2:00 PM ET.  The topic of this
webinar will be lidar technology and implications for hydrology and
hydrography.  High-quality hydrographic data are critical to a broad range
of government and private applications.

The U.S. Geological Survey National Geospatial Program is initiating a new
series of virtual seminars to highlight the uses of hydrographic data.
Resource management, infrastructure planning, environmental monitoring,
fisheries management, and disaster mitigation all depend on up-to-date,
accurate, and high-quality hydrographic data.These seminars are intended to
share success stories from users who have solved real world problems using
hydrographic data, provide information about the National Hydrography
Dataset and related products, and provide a virtual forum for users,
similar to what might be encountered in a conference setting.

This webinar will feature Karl Heidemann, Senior Lidar Scientist with the
USGS EROS Data Center.  Karl has been instrumental in the development of
both lidar technology and processing techniques in the public and private
sector, and is the lead author on the USGS Lidar Base Specification.  Karl
will review the technology and concepts, and discuss some of the
implications for hydrography and hydrologic analyses.
