New 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 roughly 5,000 km2 of high resolution topographic data over the North Island of New Zealand (see areas in red on map below).

OpenTopography is now providing access to the GEBCO_2023 global bathymetry and topography dataset. This dataset is produced as part of the Seabed 2030 project, which is a collaborative project between the Nippon Foundation of Japan and GEBCO. The GEBCO_2023 grid is a continuous, global terrain model for ocean and land with a spatial resolution of 15 arc seconds.

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).

Three new Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) datasets are now available through OpenTopography. These datasets are available through an ongoing collaboration between OpenTopography and LINZ that makes OpenTopography the primary distribution platform for point cloud data collected as part of the LINZ National Elevation Program. These new datasets collectively add over 9,300 km2 of high resolution topographic data (see areas in red in figure below).

OpenTopography is recruiting at least one Data Science intern this summer via the EarthScope Student Careers Internship Program. The intern(s) will work with the OpenTopography team to ingest and process data, and/or to develop workflows and services related to processing, analysis, and visualization of topographic data managed by OpenTopography (https://opentopography.org/).
On account of the winter holiday break and the San Diego Supercomputer Center at University of California, San Diego closure, OpenTopography will be operating with reduced support between December 23rd and January 2nd. OpenTopography systems will be fully available and users may run jobs as normal. However responses to emails, system outages, and bug reports may be delayed. If you have questions or concerns please email info@opentopography.org and we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Connect with OpenTopography at the 2023 American Geophysical Union meeting in San Francisco, CA! OpenTopography will be in booth #214 in the "NSF Neighborhood" in the exhibit hall. Our booth is staffed by the OpenTopography team and is a great chance to ask questions, provide feedback, or to discuss lidar, high resolution topography, and cyberinfrastructure.
