Blue Marble's Knight to Speak at NOAA's Northeast LiDAR Workshop in Portland

Gardiner, Maine -July 10, 2012 Blue Marble Geographics' (bluemarblegeo.com) Director of Product Management, Sam Knight, will be giving a talk at NOAA's Northeast Regional Ocean Council's Northeast LiDAR & Sea Level Rise Impacts Workshop on July 10 and 11 in Portland, Maine. Blue Marble's geospatial data manipulation, visualization and conversion solutions are used worldwide by thousands of GIS analysts at software, oil and gas, mining, civil engineering, surveying, and technology companies, as well as governmental and university organizations.

Knight will speak on post-processing of LiDAR data with the Blue Marble Desktop and Global Mapper. The talk will demonstrate the latest LiDAR post processing tools for coping with these challenges in the software. Both tools have powerful features for preparing data and analyzing it, whether it be in transforming the elevations between geoid models, processing the high volumes of point cloud data into manageable chunks, or deriving terrain surfaces and performing watershed and sea level rise analysis.
