Title: 'LiDAR' Terrain Analysis and Change Detection from Above
Version: 1.0.0
Authors@R:

Description: Terrain change detection, cut and fill volume estimation,
    terrain profiling, flood inundation analysis, slope and aspect
    computation, hillshade generation, contour extraction, reclamation
    monitoring, erosion analysis, and engineering export (LandXML, STL)
    from 'LiDAR' (Light Detection and Ranging) point clouds and digital
    elevation models ('DEMs'). Applications include surface mine
    reclamation monitoring, sediment pond capacity tracking, highwall
    safety classification, and erosion channel detection. Built on 'lidR'
    for point cloud I/O and 'terra' for raster operations. Includes
    access utilities for 'KyFromAbove' cloud-native elevation data on
    Amazon Web Services ('AWS') <https://kyfromabove.ky.gov/>. Methods
    for terrain change detection and volume estimation follow Li and
    others (2005) <doi:10.1016/j.geomorph.2004.10.007>.
