Bathymetric lidar data from the Colorado River, near Parshall, Colorado, June 13, 2019
The U.S. Geological Survey contracted with Juniper Unmanned to conduct field tests of the ASTRALiTe bathymetric lidar system on the Colorado River near Parshall, Colorado, on June 13, 2019. The objective of this project was to assess the potential to map river bathymetry (i.e., channel bed topography) using lidar data collected from an unmanned aircraft system (UAS). The ASTRALiTe lidar instrument was mounted on a DJI Matrice 600 Pro UAS owned and operated by Juniper Unmanned. As part of the study, Juniper's pilot flew the ASTRALiTe instrument across 2 river transects (cross-stream) on the Colorado River. This data release includes data delivered to the USGS by ASTRALite on August 1, 2019. The data have been parsed into separate text files for bare earth (i.e., river bed) and water surface returns for each cross-section but have not been filtered or modified in any other way.
