This keynote presentation will revisit some of the fundamentals behind lidar that influence the precision and detail the systems produce. The laser ranging systems that are used strongly influence how the lidar system works and factors including: wavelength, beam divergence, pulse width and pulse repetition frequency will be reviewed and discussed. Most airborne topographic lidars use a 1064 nm Near-Infrared laser, while topo-bathymetric lidar systems deploy both a NIR laser and a green laser...

Flooding is the most costly natural disaster in Canada. Although flood hazard maps are essential for understanding a community’s risk to flooding, in Canada, many flood maps are not always available or up to date. High quality flood mapping that is current and accessible will help governments, communities, and individuals understand flood hazards and to implement effective mitigation strategies to reduce their impacts.Since 2021, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) has been leading the Fl...
