OpenTopography is pleased to announce the release of an updated 2019 lidar dataset, collected by the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM) and funded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S.
New lidar datasets throughout the US have been added to the publicly accessible, USGS 3DEP Amazon Web Services (AWS) bucket. This latest release expands the coverage by an additional 81 datasets, or 2.6 trillion lidar points over 550,000 km2 covering the following states: Alaska, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin.
OpenTopography is pleased to announce the release of a new lidar dataset covering approximately 58 km within Utah. The data were collected as part of NCALM's seed grant program for Cole Speed at the University of Texas. 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 three new datasets covering areas of California, and Mexico. These datasets were collected by NCALM, an NSF-funded center that supports the use of airborne laser mapping technology (a.k.a. lidar) in the scientific community and is jointly operated by the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Cullen College of Engineering, University of Houston and the Department of Earth and Planetary Science, University of California, Berkeley. OpenTopography is the primary distributor of NCALM data
Given the necessity for online and remote learning on account of the coronavirus pandemic, we have designed an exercise for structural geology classes where students learn about the classical Painted Canyon site near the Southern San Andreas Fault, California, by analyzing a point cloud of a fold located near the fault. This activity is designed to serve as an alternative to typical field activities with a structural geology emphasis.
OpenTopography is pleased to announce the release of two new 2019 lidar datasets, collected by the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM) and funded by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U.S.
OpenTopography is pleased to announce the release of two new lidar datasets covering over 1100 km2. Both datasets were collected in 2018, and cover the Christchurch city area in the South Island, as well as the Palmerston North region in the North Island of New Zealand.
The U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) is an ambitious effort to complete acquisition of nationwide lidar (IfSAR in AK) by 2023 to provide the first-ever national baseline of consistent high-resolution elevation data – both bare earth and 3D point clouds – collected in a timeframe of less than a decade. Since 2015, USGS and federal, state, local and non-government partners have collected over 2 million square miles of high resolution topography data, covering nearly 67% of the United States.
OpenTopography is pleased to announce the release of a new lidar dataset covering about 518 km2 of New Zealand's North Island. Data were collected between 2015 - 2019, and the survey area covers the Huntly and Port Waikato regions.
