Collection Overview: This lidar dataset was collected by NCALM for Roman DiBiase at  Pennsylvania State University. This study uses airborne lidar to quantify the controls of wildfire, climate, and tectonics on the transition between soil-mantled and bedrock hillslopes. The study area consists of sections located north of Ridgecrest, California  and covers approximately 133 km2.Publications associated with this dataset can be found at NCALM's Data Tracking Center
