Wānanga Tuawhitu: Managing Whenua and Taiao data
Event Information
About this event
Combining data from different sources is a fundamental aspect of a geographic information system. Enhance your own data with data provided by other sources including satellite imagery.
In this session we will look at the data landscape for the whenua, and the key players for taiao/environmental data with a focus on the CRI datasets such as landcover, rivers, geology, and weather.
We will also look at other foundation datasets including LiDAR based elevation, rivers, lakes and landscape slope, contours, and aspect analysis.
