A new paper, authored by OpenTopography staff, has been published recently that utilizes lidar and high resolution differential topography for understanding behavior of the shallow fault zone in large surface-rupturing earthquakes.
OpenTopography is pleased to announce the release of five new international datasets covering areas on both sides of the Pacific. Two of the datasets cover portions of the Wellington and Hope Faults in New Zealand, and were collected by NZ Aerial Mapping with funding from GNS Science (NZ), University Joseph Fourier (France), and Agence Nationale de la Recherche (France). A third, collected near the Burdekin River, Australia by Airborne Research Australia, offers point densities much greater than typical airborne lidar due to atypical overlapping flight grids.
OpenTopography is pleased to announce the release of a reprocessed version of the “B4” lidar dataset covering the southern San Andreas and San Jacinto faults in California, USA, that enables differentiation between bare ground surfaces and the objects and vegetation above the surface. Since they were originally released in 2005 these data have provided a fundamental resource for the study of active faulting in southern California.

OpenTopography is pleased to announce the release of four new datasets collected by the National Center for Airborne Lidar Mapping (NCALM). Three of the datasets were collected as part of NCALM's seed grant program, the fourth was supported by the NSF Critical Zone Observatory program. NCALM is an NSF-funded center that supports the use of airborne laser mapping technology (a.k.a.
Come connect with OpenTopography at the 2018 International Lidar Mapping Forum (ILMF) in Denver, February 5-7! OpenTopography will be in booth #914 in the exhibit hall. Our booth will be staffed by members of the OpenTopography team and is a great chance to ask questions, provide feedback, or to discuss lidar, high resolution topography, and geospatial data infrastructure.
Come connect with OpenTopography at the 2017 American Geophysical Union meeting in New Orleans! OpenTopography will be in booth #1730 on "NSF Street" in the exhibit hall. The booth is shared with the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM). Our booth is staffed by the OpenTopography team and community members, and is a great chance to ask questions, provide feedback, or to discuss lidar, high resolution topography, and cyberinfrastructure.
OpenTopography is guided by an advisory committee which represents OpenTopography users and partners and provides valuable input on decisions related to OpenTopography priorities for data ingestion, interoperability relationships, algorithm and tool deployment, collaborations, and education and community engagement. We seek a graduate student (M.S. or Ph.D.) to join the advisory committee and represent the interests of young scientists who interact with OpenTopography.
