Google Earth are showing LiDAR survey results in Mulroy Bay, Donegal, Ireland. Kinda neat, it's a nasty passage (easy JSP!). It shows as a pale blue area at the North West corner of Ireland on Google Earth.

Is this the same kind of system that they use to log and predict erosion around the coasts? Find it fascinating!
