To better understand the terrain, the students utilized LiDAR datasets available through the WV Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Mining and Reclamation’s 2011 LiDAR program to analyze the topography. This data was processed and incorporated into an existing conditions topographic map by Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc. (CEC), with assistance from alumnus Daniel Martinez, E.I.T. who also exposed the students to readily available techniques for data collection and data analyses.
