lidar imagery

Hi All,

Does anyone have some lidar imagery they would be willing to share? Imagery will be used for best practice guidelines and supporting website, and will be credited so please indicate who should receive credit.

Please send to [email protected].

Thanks much, Paul




Hi Paul, 

So you have had the good fortune to make this ask during our annual #Tech4Wildlife photo challenge, but unfortunately you've been foiled on this ask (unlike the acoustic and camera trapping photos) - we've yet to see any lidar images shared in the photo challenge. So I'll add a request on top of your request.. if you do have some lidar images that you are willing to share with Paul, please add them to the #tech4wildlife photo challenge mix over on Twitter as well! 

To participate this year, all you need to do is: 

  1. Take a photo of how you are using tech to save wildlife
  2. Share it on Twitter: tell us a bit about your work and the tech featured
  3. Remember to use the hashtag #Tech4Wildlife and tag us at @WILDLABSNET

Cheers,

Steph 

Hi @P.Glover.Kapfer 

Have you looked at the Environment Agency LiDAR data available under the Open Government Licence and available from http://environment.data.gov.uk/ds/survey/index.jsp#/survey?

It might also just be worth asking Amphibian and Reptile Conservation whether their LiDAR data are available. They have a 2 ppm coverage of the New Forest National Park from 2015 which is shared with Natural England (contact Arne Loth). The New Forest National Park Authority also have a 4 ppm dataset from a few years previous, though I'm not sure what the copyright status is with that one (contact Lawrence Shaw).

As a fairly frequent LiDAR user, I'd be interested to know more about your best practice guidelines and website.
