Watch the GIS Centre’s new Shade Model Project video (scroll to the bottom of the page).The model utilizes LiDAR (light detection and ranging) elevation data to show shadow for a late summer day in and around the Public Gardens. The LiDAR dataset collected by the Halifax Regional Municipality has many uses in environmental and urban planning which are being explored by Dalhousie University and HRM.
This is just one example of the type of cool projects that the GIS Centre is working on!
That’s really cool.
Oh, but I would add that GIS should work harder to show this off. I almost missed it because I needed to scroll down to see it. It should be put up on its own page so I can share the link with other people.
