Information and discussion related to high-resolution lidar topography for the Earth sciences
This well done ~10 minute video from Oregon Public Broadcasting's Field Guide does an excellent job of highlighting the various earth science applications for the lidar data being collected by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries' (DOGAMI)
Erin Dimaggio, an ASU grad student working in part with OT Co-I Ramon Arrowsmith, has just announced an education and outreach project - SciNews - that she is working on as part of her ASU/NASA Space Grant.
The USGS has released a beautiful poster of Mount St. Helens created from high-resolution LiDAR topography data. The poster is USGS General Information Product 116 and is freely available for download in PDF format at either 17x22 inches or 32x42 inches.
Now that the 2010 AGU meeting is over, it is time to start thinking about the 2011 European Geoscience Union General Assembly in Vienna, Austria, April 3-8, 2011. The EGU abstract submission deadline is January 10th, 2011.
Via Paolo Tarolli, an announcement about a session at this year's European Geoscience Union Meeting in Vienna. The session emphasizes analysis techniques for high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) of Earth, seafloor or planetary landscapes:
Dear colleagues,
Earlier this month a National Research Council report entitled Precise Geodetic Infrastructure: National Requirements for a Shared Resource was published via the National Academies Press.
A NOAA expedition that concluded this past Sunday focused on mapping the offshore extent of the San Andreas fault at high-resolution. Using sonar mapping and other imaging and geophysical technologies, the NOAA-funded group, led by Chris Goldfinger from Oregon State University, is building a 3D model of the fault that they hope will reveal information about earthquake behavior as well as the role of the fault in undersea life:
The National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM) has issued their annual call for proposals to their graduate student seed project program. This program collects LiDAR data for up to ten graduate student PIs who require data for their research.
The International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) Working Group V6 is promoting a session at the April, 2011 Association of American Geographers (AAG) annual meeting in Seattle on "
Palm Springs CBS TV affiliate KPSP has a nice report and video from the Southern California Earthquake Center (SCEC) annual meeting this past week highlighting the recently collected L
