AGU 2011 Session: High-Resolution Topographic Data Processing, Analysis, and Visualization    

Posted on Wed, July 06, 2011 by Chris Crosby in Meetings

We invite you to submit an abstract to the following 2011 American Geophysical Union Meeting session this fall.  The deadline for abstract submissions is August 4th.

EP13: High-Resolution Topographic Data Processing, Analysis, and Visualization: Emerging Techniques and Applications

High-resolution topographic data collected via airborne and terrestrial laser scanning (lidar) have stimulated new results in the areas of surface processes, hazards, tectonics, and ecology. However, significant bottlenecks to data access, processing, and analysis remain. This session emphasizes technical advancements in high-resolution topographic (and bathymetric) data management, processing, analysis, and visualization, as well as related applications. We invite contributions on software and algorithm development, high-performance data processing and visualization, and emerging analysis techniques.
