OpenTopography is recruiting at least one Data Science intern this summer via the EarthScope Student Careers Internship Program. The intern(s) will work with the OpenTopography team to ingest and process data, and/or to develop workflows and services related to processing, analysis, and visualization of topographic data managed by OpenTopography (https://opentopography.org/).
On account of the winter holiday break and the San Diego Supercomputer Center at University of California, San Diego closure, OpenTopography will be operating with reduced support between December 23rd and January 2nd. OpenTopography systems will be fully available and users may run jobs as normal. However responses to emails, system outages, and bug reports may be delayed. If you have questions or concerns please email info@opentopography.org and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Connect with OpenTopography at the 2023 American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco, CA! OpenTopography will be in booth #214 in the "NSF Neighborhood" in the exhibit hall. Our booth is staffed by the OpenTopography team and is a great chance to ask questions, provide feedback, or to discuss lidar, high resolution topography, and cyberinfrastructure.

Two new Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) datasets are now available through OpenTopography. These datasets are available through an ongoing collaboration between OpenTopography and LINZ that makes OpenTopography the primary distribution platform for point cloud data collected as part of the LINZ National Elevation Program. These datasets collectively add almost 4,800 km2 of high resolution topographic data over the Central Otago Region of the South Island (see areas in red in figure below).
Over the past several months, OpenTopography has been working hard to add new datasets, and append more data to previously published projects over New Zealand. These datasets are available through an ongoing collaboration between OpenTopography and LINZ that makes OpenTopography the primary distribution platform for point cloud data collected as part of the LINZ National Elevation Program.
OpenTopography, a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded data facility operated collaboratively between the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) at University of California San Diego, EarthScope Consortium, and Arizona State University (ASU), has been selected to receive the inaugural Open Science Recognition Prize from the Ameri
OpenTopography has recently added a new structure from motion (SfM) dataset over Mount Rainier in Washington State. This dataset was collected by the National Park Service Mount Rainier (MORA) Geology Division in cooperation with the Alaska Region Office (AKRO) in September 2021. This dataset provides a unique, high-resolution survey of the geology, glaciology and overall topography of Mt Rainier and its surrounding areas. Both the digital surface model and component orthophotos are available through OpenTopography.
