Spotlight: NCALM 2024 Seed Winner Shannon Sondeno will map dune erosion in Monterey Bay, CA, with #lidar & SfM. Their project tracks coastal changes post-sand mining closure to boost resilience. Nice work!

Spotlight: Recent Seed Winner Juliana Ruef will map rock glacier motion in CO's San Juan Mtns with #lidar. Their project tracks velocity & dynamics to reveal alpine evolution. Cool project!

One of the coolest archaeological #lidar videos we've seen produced. See how laser scanning reveals hidden Maya cities under the jungle canopy! "Even after a century of study, there was still so much to be uncovered by airborne lidar." youtube.com/watch?v=--WuD_…

Spotlight: 2024 Seed Winner August Aalto will map carbon accumulation in Louisiana's Wax Lake Delta with #lidar. Their project tracks soil dynamics & subsidence to study delta growth. Nice work, August!

Maya archaeology #lidar processing is in full swing! Excited for new finds as collection continues. What's next?

Spotlight: Joint Seed winners Michael Robinson & Brandon Fong will map slot canyon formation in AZ's East Clear Creek with high-res #lidar. Their project tests lithologic controls on erosion. Congratulations!
