Lidar education at Georgia Tech

The Georgia Tech Research Institute´s atmospheric laser radar (lidar) team became involved in education projects starting in 2001, when we developed an eye safe lidar with undergraduate women at Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia. We have initiated several other projects since that time, including short courses, an academic course at Georgia Tech, a lidar textbook, and a lidar system designed specifically for education. The lidar education program at GTRI is reviewed here with comments about future plans and prospects.
