Airborne topobathymetric lidar point cloud collected for the Sandy River, Oregon in 2012. The Sandy River flows through areas of steep terrain and dense tree canopy and is home to Chinook and Coho salmon and Steelhead trout. The Sandy River is further distinguished by the 2007 removal of the Marmot Dam (river mile 30) and has been the focus of ongoing monitoring to understand the impacts of dam removal on downstream morphology and fish habitat. The nature of the river makes it challenging for traditional transect or boat-based bathymetric surveys. This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
