Collecting Lidar Data on the Lower Brule Reservation in South Dakota
Detailed Description
Staff from the U.S. Geological Survey, Lower Brule Sioux Tribe Environmental Protection Office, and Oglala Lakota College set up equipment in preparation for use of Ground-based Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). On Feb. 28-March 1, 2011, LiDAR was used to scan exposed banks as part of the Missouri River bank erosion study on the Lower Brule Reservation. These data will provide high-resolution surface elevation data and images of the scanned areas.
