New Bay of Plenty, Tasman Bay, and Coastal Otago New Zealand datasets
OpenTopography has recently added three new datasets over New Zealand that collectively cover almost 12,000 km 2. The datasets cover the Southeast coast and the Tasman and Nelson regions of the South Island, as well as the Bay of Plenty region of the North Island. 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.
