1   Open Data   UAV Lidar Survey of Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve, CA 2024 Differencing Get Point Cloud Data Get Raster Data
 Description
This dataset was collected to provide high-density, contemporary ground-truth data on 3D vegetation structure in the fire-prone montane ecosystems of Southern California. It served as a benchmark for developing and validating deep learning models designed to enhance sparse, historical airborne light detection and ranging (lidar) data by fusing it with multi-temporal optical National Agriculture Imaging Program (NAIP) and L-band synthetic aperture radar (UAVSAR) imagery for applications in ecological modeling and land management.

4   Open Data   Topography of Normal Faults in the Volcanic Tablelands, CA 2018 Get Point Cloud Data Get Raster Data
 Description

This dataset contains high resolution topography and orthomosaic imagery along three normal fault scarps in the Volcanic Tablelands near Bishop in Eastern California. In the Volcanic Tablelands, normal faults create prominent scarps that offset the Bishop Tuff. This area has been the focus of a number of studies on fault zone structural geology and geomorphology.

Data was collected via uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery over a number of faults in the Volcanic Tablelands. Data products include: point clouds, digital surface models (DSMs), and orthomosaics using structure-from-motion (SfM) techniques.

5   Open Data   High Resolution Topography along the Lost River Valley, Idaho 2019 Get Point Cloud Data Get Raster Data
 Description

The goal of this project was to systematically measure fault vertical separation to produce the most comprehensive throw dataset along the Lost River Fault (which was activated during the 1983 Borah Peak earthquake), as well as in prehistoric earthquakes. A database was created to better understand coseismic faulting processes, refine scaling laws, and further develop global probabilistic hazard calculations. (Bello et al., in prep.)

Over 10,000 photographs were acquired using a DJI Phantom 4 Pro and a Phantom 4 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that flew at ~50-110 meters above ground. In total, ~20 km along the strike of the Lost River Fault was measured at 13 different areas with an average width (fault trace normal) of ~417 m.

6   Open Data   Topography of Normal Faults in the Volcanic Tablelands, CA 2019 Get Point Cloud Data Get Raster Data
 Description

This dataset contains high resolution topography and orthomosaic imagery along three normal fault scarps in the Volcanic Tablelands near Bishop in Eastern California. In the Volcanic Tablelands, normal faults create prominent scarps that offset the Bishop Tuff. This area has been the focus of a number of studies on fault zone structural geology and geomorphology.

Data was collected via uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery over three fault scarps each with length of 2-4 km. Data products include: point clouds, digital surface models (DSMs), and orthomosaics using structure-from-motion (SfM) techniques.

7   Open Data   Lemhi Watershed - US Bureau of Reclamation Get Point Cloud Data
 Description
These Lidar data were collected on September 24-26, 2010 by Watershed Sciences Incorporated, for Trout Unlimited and Utah State University's Ecogeomorphology and Topographic Analysis Lab. The flight was paid for by Trout Unlimited's US Bureau of Reclamation project partner. The majority of surveyed area was to support conservation and restoration efforts by Trout Unlimited and others in the Lemhi Watershed. The 2010 Lemhi River data were integrated with overlapping portions of the 2009 data (Amonson) to provide seamless models. Additionally, two mainstem areas of interest (AOI) along the Lemhi River and five additional 'satellite' AOIs were added to the acquisition by Utah State University to support a study intercomparing different topographic survey and aerial photography acquisition methods. In addition to airborne Lidar, Bangen et al. (2011) used total station, rtkGPS, ground-based Lidar, spectral-based depth correlation and single-beam SONAR to collect topography at all of these AOI's. Aerial orthophotos were collected concurrently with the Watershed Sciences survey, whereas Utah State University acquired comparable imagery by both tethered blimp and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveys. The study is part of a larger effort by Eco Logical Research, Inc. and NOAA's ISEMP (Integrated Status and Effectiveness Monitoring Program).
