OpenTopography is pleased to announce the release of a lidar dataset covering 252 km² covering the Kern River Canyon, California. Data were collected in October of 2016 by NCALM for Dr. William Krugh at California State University, Bakersfield as part of the Center for Climate and Natural Resource Solutions for Water-limited Regions project. This project is part of NSF's Center for Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program. NCALM is an NSF-funded center that supports the use of airborne laser mapping technology (a.k.a.

OpenTopography is pleased to announce the release of a set of 2 meter DEMs from the 2013 Baluchistan 7.7 Mw earthquake. This dataset offers a unique opportunity to analyze topography both before and after the September 2013 seismic event. The DEMs were generated from in-track stereo imagery, as well as DEMs constructed from mixed pairs of non-in-track stereo images. A complete description of the generation of this dataset and the images that were used to construct the DEMs can be found in:

OpenTopography is pleased to announce the release of a new lidar dataset covering approximately 63 square km of the Guadalupe Mountains and the McKittrick Canyon Wilderness Study Area in New Mexico and Texas. The data were collected through an NCALM SEED grant to Alexander Neely (PSU) for the quantification of rock strength controls on landscape morphology. NCALM is an NSF-funded center that supports the use of airborne laser mapping technology (a.k.a.

OpenTopography is pleased to announce the release of a new lidar dataset covering approximately 545 square km of Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. The data were collected by NCALM for Dr. Wetherbee Dorshow and Dr. Wirt Wills to help reconstruct the three dimensional landscape, as well as model land use, in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico.
