Application of Light Detection and Ranging in Right-of-Way Management Program

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is a method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure variable distances. These pulses are combined with other data (Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and inertial navigation system (INS)) to precisely obtain the position of points over the shape of the earth and its surface […]

White Sturgeon Movement and Habitat Use in the Lower Columbia River

The White Sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) population in the lower Columbia River was listed as endangered under the Species at Risk Act in 2006. Natural recruitment failure has occurred since the 1970s, with regular spawning occurring but insufficient numbers of viable offspring reaching juvenile stage to sustain the population. A recovery strategy has included the establishment […]
