Graduate Student Jason Alexander Receives Laser Mapping Award

Graduate student Jason Alexander recently received a National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM) award for his research project titled, “Quantifying the relationship between channel morphology and the topography of large emergent sandbars.”

The award will help to have LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) flown in Jason’s field study area on the Niobrara River in Northern Nebraska.
