OpenTopography has released ten datasets covering a small area in Brazil as well as the US states of Alaska, California, Montana, North Carolina and Oregon. These data cover a diverse range of topographic environments and were collected to study active tectonics, volcanic areas, coastal geomorphology and hydrology.

Four datasets covering areas of Northern Vermont, Mojave Desert, Northern California Coast Range, and Southern New Hampshire are now available through OpenTopography.

OpenTopography is pleased to announce the release of thirteen datasets collected by the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM) over areas of Arizona, California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. NCALM is 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.

On account of the winter holiday break and San Diego Supercomputer Center and University of California, San Diego campus-wide closures, OpenTopography will be providing reduced support between December 24th and January 2nd. OpenTopography systems will be fully available and users may run jobs as they normally do. However, responses to email, 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.
