Mapping Urban Tree Canopy: Using GIS for Sustainability
In-Person
In this workshop, participants will use LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data in ArcGIS Pro to classify and map urban tree canopy (UTC), gaining insights into the distribution of trees. LiDAR data, which uses laser pulses to measure distances and create detailed 3D models of the landscape, will be used to accurately assess tree canopy cover and its contribution to sustainability efforts.
Workshop Goals:
Learn how to classify and analyze LiDAR data.
Gain skills is assessing the role of urban trees in sustainability, including environmental and climate benefits.
