Washington Forest Practices Seminar Friday, February 20, 2009 - 8:30 am - 9:30 am "Application, Benefits, & Limitations of Using
High Resolution Topographic Data from Airborne LiDAR for Landslide Risk Assessments"
Presented by Ted Turner, Geologist,
Weyerhaeuser Timberlands Environmental Forestry Research.
Ted is a geologist with Weyerhaeuser Timberlands Environmental Forestry Research with technical and research specialties in forest land slope stability, fluvial geomorphology, and watershed analysis. He joined Weyerhaeuser in 1995 and is based in Springfield, Oregon. He is a licensed engineering geologist in Washington and a registered geologist in Oregon. Prior to joining Weyerhaeuser, Ted worked on stream bank stabilization, river restoration, and groundwater contamination projects throughout the northern Rockies as a consultant. He is a graduate of Humboldt State University (BA, geology) and Montana State University (MS, Earth Sciences).
Ted will present methods for assessing landslide risk including terrain stability mapping, field investigations, and distributed, physically-based stability models.Ê He will emphasize the application, benefits, and limitations of using high resolution topographic data from airborne LiDAR.Ê Examples from Oregon and Washington will be discussed.
