Description
The third book in the Making Spatial Decisions series, Making Spatial Decisions Using GIS and Lidar, focuses on scenario-based problem solving using an integrated workflow in ArcGIS (R) for Desktop. The scenarios in Making Spatial Decisions Using GIS and Lidar feature lidar as the primary data source and lidar-related analysis as the primary skill focus. Lidar is a powerful, and increasingly popular, data source used to create elevation and terrain models with very high accuracy.
Students and self-learners can use the exercises in this book to develop their GIS skills. Downloadable data and access to a 180-day trial of ArcGIS are available on the Esri Press Book Resources web page, esripress.esri.com/bookresources. Instructor resources are available by request.
