I thank David Evans and Associates for providing assistance with the laser scanning and feedback for the course. I thank Leica Geosystems for its support by providing students with software (Leica Cyclone, Leica Geo-Office) and surveying equipment. I thank ODOT and Watershed Sciences for their presentations.
