HYDROSCAN: Airborne laser mapping of hydrological features and resources Hydroscan: Airborne laser mapping of hydrologic features and resources This book is a compilation of materials presented at the Hydroscan workshop hosted at the National Water Research Institute, Saskatoon, September 2006. Hydroscan was a workshop and symposium on airborne laser mapping technology and its applications to hydrological research and water resources assessment. The aim of Hydroscan was to share new developments in laser mapping technology and application domains, while informing the end user community how the technology can be put to use in their water resources projects. This book is intended to be both a source of reference and a source of motivation for further research.
