Introduction to Digital Elevation Models (DEMs)
As the fields of digital mapping and geospatial analysis continue to grow, the use of 3D data is becoming more widespread. One of the most common types of 3D data is a digital elevation model, or DEM. In this Webinar, we'll talk about what DEMs are and how they differ from other types of spatial data. We'll also look at some of the sources of DEM data, their quality, and how they are generated. Lastly, we'll look at examples of how you can use DEMs in sophisticated geospatial analysis to solve real-world problems.

What Is Radar Data?

Radar remote sensing is a technique that has matured substantially over the past two decades. The focus of this Webinar is the processing, interpretation, and application of radar imagery. It will begin with basics and physics of radar remote sensing and continue with current and future prospects, followed by a discussion on applications using radar imagery.

Land Cover Canopy
Land cover classification is a very valuable tool to professionals in a diverse range of fields, each with numerous applications. Ranging anywhere from environmental and ecosystem management to land use planning and fire management, these applications play an important role in both the public and private sectors. This Webinar will examine how this radar data has provided a highly accurate, cloud-free source of imagery for the potential creation of a nationwide 5-meter land cover dataset.
