A brief historical outline provides the context for an introduction to LiDAR technology and a demonstration of how LiDAR-derived imagery is being used as an adjunct to traditional methods in the search for early European settlement sites in the Merrymeeting Bay area. Also included are examples of how LiDAR imaging and analytics can be used in gauging human impacts to the area’s ecosystem that have taken place in past centuries.
