Using 3D Modeling for Green ShoresTM Projects
Tuesday, March 7th
11:00 am – 12:00 pm

This webinar will show the capabilities of ultra-high precision shoreline models to assist with planning and implementing Green Shores projects. Dr. Nathan Vadeboncoeur will present on the new interactive 3D visualization tool, Smart Shores, uses aerial images collected by UAVs (drones) and high-precision ground-based GPS to create centimetre-level accurate landscape models that can be used to assist in the design, implementation and evaluation of Green Shores projects. The webinar will also discuss how these tools can be used as part of an online platform for accessing the wealth of knowledge other Canadians have developed in managing their own shores.
