These are a series of “one-click QGIS processing plugins” being developed at the drainage laboratory, University of Illinois. These easy-to-use routines were developed to make data analysis on drainage sites using LiDAR DEM data to be both easy and available to broader audiences. It also removes the barrier of having any technical involvement or GIS expertise outside the plugin interface. It offers a link between science and practical application of LiDAR data for most environmental analyses.
