Below I share some of the work going on in the geo-spatial world at the Hakai Institute. Some of the posts are for testing products for future development and some are to highlight early findings from the field. The main goal of the mapping team is to assist and enhance spatial knowledge for long term research programs at the Hakai Institute.

Quadra Island Archaeology / LiDAR Survey
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.
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.
