Shade Model Project
This is one example of the type of projects that the GIS Centre is working on. The model utilizes LiDAR (light detection and ranging) elevation data to show shadow for a late summer day in and around the Public Gardens. The LiDAR dataset collected by the Halifax Regional Municipality has many uses in environmental and urban planning which are being explored by Dalhousie University and HRM.
