We have updated the OpenTopography Short Courses page with the lectures, tutorials and sample data, and related documents from last weeks Southern California Earthquake Center sponsored Short Course: Using EarthScope and B4 LiDAR data to analyze Southern California’s active faults.
OpenTopography is pleased to release another round of EarthScope LiDAR topography data. These data cover the Denali and Totschunda faults in Alaska and include a portion of the surface rupture of the 2002 M7.9 Denali Fault Earthquake. Full data release announcement is below.
Announcement:
Lectures, tutorials and sample data, and related documents from the 2009 Geological Society of America Short Course, Introduction to the acquisition, visualization, and interpretation of airborne lidar-derived digital elevation models, are now available via OpenTopography.
This week OpenTopography rolled out increased LiDAR point could processing limits and a simplified scheme of user access levels. OpenTopography is a authenticated system whereby users have certain privileges for data access, processing limits, and system features. User level is defined for each user and applied when the user is logged into OpenTopography. The new scheme simplifies users into three levels:
Available GeoEarthScope LiDAR data in southern California has now grown to include the Elsinore fault, the Burro Flats segment of San Andreas fault, and the Crater Mountain portion of the Owens Valley. These data are a new addition to the GeoES SoCal coverage that includes the previously released Garlock fault data.
OpenTopography is pleased to announce that the Nephi North portion of the Wasatch fault LiDAR data set, acquired during the GeoEarthScope Intermountain Seismic Belt (ISB) project is now available. The majority of the ISB data set was released via OpenTopography in May, but due to additional data processing challenges, the Nephi North segment of the data set was not distributed at that time.
We are pleased to announce the availability of LiDAR point cloud data from the Garlock fault portion of the GeoEarthScope Southern & Eastern California project.
OpenTopography is pleased to release the LiDAR point cloud portion of the GeoEarthScope Intermountain Seismic Belt data set.
