Resilience Mapping & Archeological Conservation
Located in Southern New Mexico, White Sands National Park is renowned for its breathtaking gypsum sand dunes. However, beneath this stunning exterior lies a treasure trove of archeological significance.
In our latest whitepaper, join us as we explore the remarkable intersection of archeology, environmental science, and cutting-edge geospatial technology, highlighting the critical importance of preserving one of America’s most unique landscapes.
White Sands Significance & WGI's Crucial Role
White Sands National Park is not only breathtaking; it also serves as a vital link to our past, with key highlights including:
- The oldest human footprints in North America, offering insights into early human migration and behavior.
- A diverse array of prehistoric animal fossils, revealing the ecological richness of the area during the Ice Age.
WGI’s Geospatial division leveraged state-of-the-art lidar technology to map and monitor the park's dynamic and ever-changing landscape, allowing federal agencies to:
- Track morphological changes over time and assess resilience to environmental pressures.
- Identify previously undiscovered archeological features, enhancing conservation strategies.
- Plan for and enhance conservation strategies.
