We are pleased to announce the 7th Cyberinfrastructure Summer Institute for Geoscientists (CSIG) to be held August 9-13 at the San Diego Supercomputer Center on the University of California, San Diego campus.
Last week, as part of the Fifteenth Annual Science-Engineering-Technology Congressional Visits Day (SET CVD) program, OpenTopography presented a demonstration of LiDAR data on Capitol Hill in Washington DC.
OpenTopography may be unavailable Thursday, April 1st between 1 and 4 pm (Pacific) for system maintenance and testing. At times during this period the whole http://www.opentopography.org site may not be reachable.
Point cloud data downloads and custom DEM processing will be unavailable Friday evening, April 2nd due to a system backup.
We apologize for any inconvenience these outages may cause.
As promised in last week's release of new southern California and Washington EarthScope LiDAR data, the standard digital elevation models for the Yakima fold and thrust belt in central Washington are now available via the OpenTopography Standard DEM page.
OpenTopography is pleased to announce the release of new EarthScope LiDAR topography data from southern California and Washington state. In southern California, this release includes data for faults in the Mojave (Lenwood, Helendale, Calico, Blackwater), eastern California (Panamint, Tin Mtn, Mud Hills, Hunter Mtn, Owens) and San Cayetano. In Washington, data are now available for the Yakima fold and thrust belt. The full data release announcement is below.
OpenTopography is pleased to announce a new grant from the National Science Foundation to fund the operation of OpenTopography as a national lidar data facility.
The annual American Geophysical Union (AGU) Meeting will kickoff on Monday in San Francisco. OpenTopography will be on display at the GEON booth in the Exhibit Hall (#315 in the Exhibit Hall, Moscone South). OpenTopography team members will be on-hand to discuss and demonstrate the latest updates to the site and to show off newly released data. Please stop by the booth and say hi.
We have updated the OpenTopography Short Courses page with the lectures, tutorials and sample data, and related documents from last weeks Southern California Earthquake Center sponsored Short Course: Using EarthScope and B4 LiDAR data to analyze Southern California’s active faults.
