Summary:
This user guide facilitates the identification of surficial deposits and borrow pits using LiDAR data and aerial photographs. The high accuracy of LiDAR data is particularly useful for observing geomorphological details that are difficult to see using other data sources (e.g., aerial photographs only). The shaded relief digital terrain model produced from LiDAR data removes the masking effect of vegetation, exposing the underlying terrain and thus allowing an easier and more precise identification of surficial deposits. Using this guide to identify more easily and more precisely surficial deposits can undoubtedly facilitate preliminary analyses and field work, as well as the search for material favourable to civil engineering work and the construction of roads.
