Track: Tribal/Indigenous GIS programs
Authors: Volker Mell, Jason Bernards

CTGR got High Resolution LIDAR data in October 2010 for the Reservation. The Lidar flight was organized by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries. CTGR partnered with the USGS to pay for the flight over the reservation.
The presentation will focus on the data processing and analysis in ARCGIS Desktop to create a new stream layer for the CTGR reservation.
Other uses of the data will also be showcased: Cable corridor planning for logging operations, viewshed analysis, Use of 1 foot contour lines in Engineering Department, Counting and measuring tree heights of all trees on the reservation ( a process developed by Emmor Nile Oregon State Forestry).
The presentation will also cover possible future uses of the data in Cultural resources.
