Nancy Glenn, director of Idaho State’s Boise Center Aerospace Lab (BCAL) and a member of the OpenTopography Advisory Committee, wrote to let us know about a new Idaho LiDAR Consortium website that her group has just released. The website provides links to news about ILC activities, research, and software tools - including the BCAL lidar tools for ENVI. The site provides a nice map interface to view ILC data coverage - including planned data collections - and to download data products such as DEMs for certain datasets.
OpenTopography is working with Nancy to ingest a portion of the ILC point cloud data into OpenTopography - the data are currently in our ingestion queue and we hope to have them online soon.

Sounds like having Idaho’s first entry in the National Lidar Dataset (on Wikipedia) can’t be too far behind!
Which counties in Idaho have or will have full LiDAR coverage?
