# Library

library( "here" )         # Used to create relative file paths so that code is reproducible
library( "lidR" )         # Used for LiDAR file processing
library( "rLiDAR" )       # Used for LiDAR file processing
library( "raster" )       # Used for raster file processing
library( "sp" )           # Used for mapping and spatial data processing
library( "ggmap" )        # Used for mapping and spatial data processing
library( "measurements" ) # Used to convert measurement units
