Quadra Island Archaeology / LiDAR Survey
Monday, June 15, 2015 at 4:24PM Purpose: To validate 2014 LiDAR elevation data for Quadra Island and to gain more accurate elevation data points for important sea level curve lakes and archaeology sites. Multiple projects benefit from having accurate survey pins in place such as clam garden research and anchient landscapes research programs. The survey also allows us to have greater confidence in our LiDAR swaths for the region as they confirm that the bare earth models are correct.
Quadra and Read Island Survey Sites and Elevations
Project Summary: In total 26 survey pins were created from May 25-31st to fully cover the LiDAR swaths created in September 2014. A number of key sea level curve sites were identified by Daryl Fedje from the University of Victoria to help solidify knowledge of anchient landscapes on Quadra and Read Islands.
Each survey point has an associated report processed through Natural Resources Canada. Many of the surveys have been in place to detail the high water mark of a lake or wetland.
Morte Lake Survey Site - Using the Topcon GR5 - Quadra Island.Final analysis of the LiDAR accuracy is still undergoing, but preliminary results show a high degree of agreement between the survey pins and LiDAR based elevations. LiDAR / survey analysis will be presented in a separate report.
