This lidar dataset was collected as part of an NCALM Seed grant for Cole Speed at the University of Texas. This goal of this project was to be able to interpret fluvial processes from the ancient rock record by linking geomorphology to stratigraphy using 3-D outcrops of exhumed channel-belt deposits in eastern Utah. The survey area covers approximately 58.25 km2 .
