Overview

This page offers access to lidar data of the western Rainier seismic zone, adjacent to Mt. Rainier, in Pierce County, WA. This dataset covers approximately 325 square kilometers and includes approximately a billion data points. Point density is approximately 2 points per square meter. For more information on these data please see this abstract.

These data were acquired by NASA, in collaboration with the United States Geologic Survey and the Puget Sound Lidar Consortium, with funding provided by NASA's Earth Surface and Interior Focus Area. The data was collected and processed by Terrapoint. The data are in the public domain with no restrictions on their use.
