OpenTopography recently released five new point cloud datasets collected over areas of Owens Valley (CA), the Colorado Rockies, Mt. Rainier National Park (WA) and Yellowstone National Park (WY). These datasets were collected in 2010 and 2012 by the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM). NCALM is a NSF-funded center that supports the use of airborne laser mapping technology (a.k.a.
OpenTopography is pleased to announce the release of point cloud and raster data supporting ongoing seismic hazard research surrounding the Diablo Canyon Power Plant, Central Coast California. The datasets were provided by Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) and are comprised of three separate surveys: Diablo Canyon (2010), Los Osos (2011), and San Simeon (2013).
Eight datasets from six states were recently released by OpenTopography covering areas of California, Maine, New Mexico, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Utah. These data include four Critical Zone Observatory (CZO) datasets, three National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM) datasets and one dataset from the Utah Geological Survey.
OpenTopography will be at the 2013 European Geosciences Union (EGU) Meeting this week in Vienna, Austria:
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.
OpenTopography is a partner on a recently awarded National Science Foundation grant to develop software tools to make it easier for scientists to analyze lidar point cloud data.
Four datasets covering areas of Northern Vermont, Mojave Desert, Northern California Coast Range, and Southern New Hampshire are now available through OpenTopography.
A new Geological Society of America Special Paper volume entitled, Google Earth and Virtual Visualizations in Geoscience Education and Research includes a paper on OpenTopography's work to make
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.
We are pleased to announce the release four datasets collected by the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM) over areas of California, Colorado, Idaho and North Carolina. NCALM is an NSF-funded center that supports the use of airborne laser mapping technology (a.k.a.
