Lidar Hurricane Impact Assessments
Regional coastal erosion and shoreline change from hurricane impacts can be quantified using recurring airborne lidar elevation maps collected by the USACE NCMP.
Coastal Zone Mapping and Imaging Lidar is deployed regionally via airplane.
Hurricane Michael JALBTCX Volume Change results for the area of St. George Island Inlet, Florida.
