Last year’s east coast earthquake was a first for many – including myself. Many are questioning whether or not the eastern seaboard will continue to experience earthquakes in the near future.

Light Detection and Ranging, or LiDAR (lie-dar) - you’ve heard of it, right? Then you should know that LiDAR uses light waves to collect data and provide 3D information for an area of interest or a project area. It’s great to use for surface and vegetation mapping, transportation corridor mapping, transmission route mapping and 3D building mapping. If you’re not in the know, don’t sweat it. DLT Solutions and Autodesk teamed together once again to provide a valuable guide entitled, LiDAR for Dummies. This free e-book is an essential resource for surveyors and agencies who are interested in LiDAR but aren’t necessarily familiar with how it works. It’s also a great refresher for those more experienced with the technology, but may want to broaden their knowledge.
