OpenTopography at the 2019 American Geophysical Union Meeting

Dec 7, 2019

Connect with OpenTopography at the 2019 American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco, CA! OpenTopography will be in booth #311 on "NSF Street" in the exhibit hall. The booth is shared with the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM). Our booth is staffed by the OpenTopography team and community members, and is a great chance to ask questions, provide feedback, or to discuss lidar, high resolution topography, and cyberinfrastructure.

Stop by the booth to see the latest in OpenTopography:

  • The OpenTopography Community Dataspace: Come learn how you can upload, archive, and publish point and raster data products produced from small aerial and terrestrial lidar and photogrammetry surveys. In the past year we've added 50 new datasets to the CDS.

  • Web-based topographic differencing: Launched at AGU 2018, vertical topographic differencing (i.e., subtraction of DEMs) through the OpenTopography web interface has now been expanded to over 40 dataset pairs. See this blog post for examples of on-demand differencing results.

  • New data: In the past year we've added ~75 new datasets covering thousands of square kilometers on several continents.

  • OpenAltimetry: Funded by NASA and built by the OpenTopography team in collaboration with Scripps and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSDIC), OpenAltimetry is a platform that allows users to quickly discover, visualize, and download data from the ICESat/GLAS and ICESat-2/ATLAS lidar satellite missions.

We'll also be giving away the popular I heart lidar stickers, as well as a new generation of OpenTopography logo stickers, and bookmarks. Please stop by and say hi!
