Abstract
 Environmental Mapping Incorporating LiDAR, Satellite Imagery, and Existing GIS Data Track: Remote Sensing Imagery Author(s): Flynn Adams, Suzy Brunzell, Laura Audette, Michael McGuiness, Neil Quisenberry, Rob Simmonds, Edward Fairbanks The objectives of Environmental Mapping in Snohomish County are to assist in property development/permitting, improve regulatory review, and provide for land capacity analysis. The location of streams, water bodies, wetlands, and steep slopes on individual parcels is a desirable component. The estimate for a detailed ground survey mapping these features exceeds thirteen million dollars and is possible only with an extended timeframe. Alternatives utilizing remote sensing technology in conjunction with GIS are developed to model reality at considerably less cost. Data compiled from remote sensing sources are compared to existing data, and new modified data layers are created. All aspects of the project incorporate ArcGIS software from the analysis of the LiDAR DEM with ArcHYDRO to a website application developed in ArcIMS. This project is not possible without these valuable tools.
