The University of Houston put out a press release today - National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping Comes to Houston - announcing that one half of the NSF-supported NCALM LiDAR mapping center has moved to UH (the other half of NCALM remains at University of California, Berkley). Formerly at University of Florida, NCALM acquires high-resolution topographic data for NSF-researchers. OpenTopography has worked closely with NCALM on a number of projects, most notably the EarthScope LiDAR project where data were collected by NCALM and are hosted for community access by OpenTopography.
