Available GeoEarthScope LiDAR data in southern California has now grown to include the Elsinore fault, the Burro Flats segment of San Andreas fault, and the Crater Mountain portion of the Owens Valley. These data are a new addition to the GeoES SoCal coverage that includes the previously released Garlock fault data.
OpenTopography is pleased to announce that the Nephi North portion of the Wasatch fault LiDAR data set, acquired during the GeoEarthScope Intermountain Seismic Belt (ISB) project is now available. The majority of the ISB data set was released via OpenTopography in May, but due to additional data processing challenges, the Nephi North segment of the data set was not distributed at that time.
We are pleased to announce the availability of LiDAR point cloud data from the Garlock fault portion of the GeoEarthScope Southern & Eastern California project.
OpenTopography is pleased to release the LiDAR point cloud portion of the GeoEarthScope Intermountain Seismic Belt data set.
In our ongoing effort to improve the ability to visualize and interact with outputs from the OpenTopography custom digital elevation model system, we have now made it possible to view the hillshade products directly in Google Earth without leaving the browser. Now, in addition to the hillshade browse images and Google Earth KMZ files, you'll see a link to "View KMZ file in Browser" on your results page.
Earth science educators at the community college and undergraduate level are invited to participate in a workshop to be held at the San Diego Supercomputer Center, August 5-7, 2009 on utilizing high-resolution topography and the OpenTopography Portal in the classroom.
We are pleased to announce the availability of new GeoEarthScope airborne LiDAR data products from the Intermountain Seismic Belt (ISB) project! This release includes high resolution LiDAR topography data collected in tectonically active regions of Utah and Wyoming, including Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks and the Nephi segment (southern strand) of the Wasatch fault. These LiDAR data can be explored and downloaded in several ways:
NSF has issued a press release highlighting their recent funding in support of cloud computing activities (via the NSF Cluster Exploratory (CLuE) program).
