Watershed Sciences, Inc. (WS) collected Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data for the USDA Forest Service on September 19-23, 2007. The Areas of Interest (AOIs) collectively cover 36,837 acres (6 sites) within the Biscuit Fire region of Southwest Oregon. The overriding objective of the LiDAR acquisition was to provide accurate vegetation and bare earth terrain models to be used in the evaluation of landscape patterns on forestland affected by the fire of July 2002.
In addition to these lidar point data, the bare earth Digital Elevation Models (DEM) created from the lidar point data are also available. These data are available for custom download at the link provided in the URL section of this metadata record.
This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
