Title Using Ground Based LiDAR to Quantify Bluff Erosion in the LeSueur River Watershed in Southern Minnesota
Creator Belmont, Patrick Day, S S Gran, K Jennings, C Wilcock, P Johnson, A Perg, L
Description Preliminary studies indicate that bluffs contribute 31-80% of the total annual suspended sediment load for the LeSueur River basin. In an effort to improve this estimate and better quantify the types and locations of bluffs contributing the most sediment, various remote sensing techniques are being utilized. Bluff height, steepness, and location were measured using aerial LiDAR. This is the best way to objectively map bluffs in the watershed and to quantify attributes of each bluff. Aerial...
