Directions Magazine has been privileged to work with some great organizations. Welcome to another edition of the DirectionsMag/URISA Podcast Series! This year, URISA's Professional Education Committee is organizing a series of discussions on the New and now: - How did geospatial technology started?, Where is it now?, and what are some current focus areas or points of interest? In this episode Xan Fredericks is joined by Josh Nimetz and Cindy Thatcher to continue the conversation about what's new and now in the realm of remote sensing specifically LiDAR. This discussion includes data suitability, increased efficiencies, considerations for accuracy, topographic lidar, bathymetric and top integrations, accuracy in integrated datasets, and what's next.
