On February 11, 2013, Alberta Environment & Sustainable Reseource Development along with the Univeristy of New Brunswick and the Foothills Research Institute hosted a one-day workshop on Wet Areas Mapping. Presentations from the workshop looked at how the dataset is being used in Alberta, and where the technology is heading.
The Alberta Land-use Knowledge Network recorded many of the day's presentations, available here:
