Advancing Stormwater Models with LiDAR Enabled Tool 

We invite you to join us for a presentation with Emeritus Professor John S. Gulliver and Ph.D. candidate Noah Gallagher to learn about the recent developments of a tool that helps integrate surface topology data in the form of LiDAR point clouds or digital elevation model with stormwater models. They will describe the benefits of including detailed surface topography in the context of extreme precipitation events like the 100-year storm.

This presentation is hosted by the Minnesota Water Research Fund as a part of its mission to educate our community about exciting water research at the University of Minnesota.
