Creating better flood inundation maps with lidar data and a topographically-driven model

Rebecca Diehl PhD (Department of Geography) and Kristen L. Underwood PhD (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineer) from the University of Vermont present their methodology in using a hydro enforced Digital Elevation Model (DEM) to improve the performance of regional flood inundation maps with application to flood hazard, water quality, and conservation planning. This presentation was given on 12/8/2021 as part of the monthly 'GeoEnlightenment' professional development series held by the State of Vermont's Enterprise GIS Consortium.
