Seven new and updated New Zealand lidar datasets available
Five new, and two updated Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) datasets are now available through OpenTopography. These datasets are available through an ongoing collaboration between OpenTopography and LINZ as part of the LINZ National Elevation Program. These datasets collectively add over 18,000 km2 of high resolution topographic data over New Zealand (see areas in red on map below).
