[TriLUG] TriLUG Digest, Vol 610, Issue 1

[Doug_Newcomb at fws.gov]

Jim,
      My presentation is on working with the ~800 GB of multiple return
lidar data from the NC Floodplain mapping program and using GRASS to try to
derive a statewide forest canopy height dataset.  I'd be willing to make
the same presentation to trilug.

      There is a lot of open source GIS activity going on around the state.
If triluggers are interested in open source GIS in general and some of the
ongoing activities, I'm sure that a more general presentation could be
arranged.

Doug
