Topographic LiDAR surveys of rivers in Alaska, August 27-September 1, 2018
The U.S. Geological Survey in collaboration with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) collected topographic LiDAR surveys of six rivers in Alaska from August 27- September 1, 2018 to support research related to remote sensing of river discharge. Data were acquired for the Knik, Matanuska, Chena, Salcha, Tanana and Snow Rivers using a Riegl VQ-480 LiDAR. The LiDAR was installed on a Robinson R44 Raven helicopter in a HeliPod that was designed and operated by CRREL. The LiDAR data included as part of this release include: a bare earth digital elevation model (DEM) and compressed binary LAS point cloud files (LAZ format) for each river surveyed.
