WSI has collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data of the Oregon West Metro Study Area for the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). The Oregon LiDAR Consortium's West Metro project area encompasses approximately 100,000 acres in Washington, Multnomah, and Clackamas County, Oregon. The study area includes the Beaverton, Hillsboro, and Forest Grove metro areas. Data were delivered in: Oregon State Plane North; horizontal and vertical datum: NAD83 (2011)/NAVD88 (Geoid12a); units: International Feet. Between December 28th, 2012 and January 4th, 2013, WSI employed remote-sensing lasers in order to obtain a total area flown of 99,684 acres of which 96,543 acres comprise the area of interest. Settings for LiDAR data capture produced an average resolution of at least eight pulses per square meter. In addition to LiDAR survey, OLC West Metro included high resolution aerial photography was acquired for the entire study area. Lidar point clouds were projected back to geographic coordinates and ellipsoid heights for storage in the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer.
