The University of Minnesota
Water Resources Center is presenting a series of
technical workshops on “Conservation Applications of
LiDAR Data”. The workshops are developed and taught by

PREREQUISITES: Participants must have intermediate
GIS skills, and they must attend the “Basics of Using
LiDAR Data” before any other modules. “Hydrologic
Applications is required before “Wetland Mapping”.
SCHEDULE: Sessions will be presented across the
state starting in March 2012. Visit the website for a
current list. More sessions will continue to be added.
TOPICS: Session modules include Basics of Using
LiDAR Data, Terrain Analysis, Hydrologic Applications,
Engineering Applications, Forestry and Ecological
Applications, and Wetland Mapping. More detail is
