Using Data to Understand the Causes & Impacts of the 2013 Boulder Floods

Data can help us understand the causes and effects of natural disturbance events.  This video delves into the data that allow us to better understand the September 2013 flooding events along the Front Range of Colorado.  We track the storm through satellite imagery, rainfall and stream gauge data and then look at the consequences of the storm through LiDAR measurements and satellite imagery. The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) project will collect data like this for over 30 years to help monitor changes in our environment.
