Karen Schuckman Named as Lidar Leader
CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR GEO-
RENAISSANCE WOMAN, KAREN
SCHUCKMAN!
International Lidar Mapping Forum (ILMF)
and LIDAR Magazine recently announced
the recipients of the third annual Lidar Leader
Awards during an award ceremony held virtually.
ILMF – in cooperation with LIDAR Magazine
– designed this unique program to recognize
excellence in five distinct categories: Outstanding
Personal Achievement in Lidar, Outstanding
Team Achievement in Lidar, Outstanding
Enterprise Achievement in Lidar, Outstanding
Innovation in Lidar, and Outstanding University
Achievement in Lidar.
Karen Schuckman of Pennsylvania State University and
ASPRS was one of two recipients of the Outstanding
Personal Achievement in Lidar category. For two decades,
Mrs. Schuckman has made numerous noteworthy
contributions and has sustained forward-thinking
leadership in advancing lidar technologies in the
mainstream geospatial/mapping community. She has been
one of the most influential professionals in the lidar field,
leading the first statewide lidar mapping program, helping form the ASPRS
Lidar Division, coordinating standards development, and teaching in the
Penn State Online Geospatial Program.
Lisa Murray, Group Director at Diversified Communications stated of
the awards, “This is the third year for the Lidar Leader Awards. Over 80
submissions were received highlighting excellent work in the industry. We
would like to thank all the nominees and nominators, our esteemed Advisory
Board, as well as our partners at LIDAR Magazine for helping us recognize
great achievements in the field of lidar technology. Especially during this time
of physical distancing, these awards are a great way to bring the community
together to help celebrate each other.”
Dr. A. Stewart Walker, Managing Editor at Lidar Magazine commented,
“As always, it is a privilege to participate in the Lidar Leader Awards. The
high quality of nominations has been maintained and again we have worthy
winners. It is especially important, in these difficult times when face-to-face
events are not possible, to recognize excellence and the virtual ceremony
proved a popular way to do so.”
