Resource Abstract:
- description: 2010 Boulder Creek, Colorado Snow-Off Lidar SurveysLidar was acquired for a 600 km2 area inside the Boulder Creek
watershed during a snow-off (August, 2010) time slice, near Boulder Colorado. This data was collected in collaboration between
the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM) project and the Boulder Creek Critical Zone Observatory (CZO), both
funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The dataset contains 1 m Digital Surface Models (first-stop), Digital Terrain
Models (bare-earth), and 10 points/m2 LAS-formated point cloud tiles. The DSMs and DTMs are available in GeoTIFF format, approx.
1-2 GB each, with associated shaded relief models, for a total of 15 GB of data. The Digital Terrain Model (DTM) is a ground-surface
elevation dataset better suited for derived layers such as slope angle, aspect, and contours. Accessory layers consist of
index map layers for point cloud tiles, DEM extent, and flight lines. Other Lidar DSMs, DTMs, and point cloud data available
in this series include snow-on data for 2010. Together, the Lidar Digital Elevation Models (DEM) and point cloud data will
be of interest to land managers, scientists, and others for study of topography, snow, ecosystems and environmental change.
The Boulder Creek CZO will be using the Lidar data to further their mission of focusing on how water, atmosphere, ecosystems,
& soils interact and shape the Earth's surface. The "Critical Zone" lies between rock and sky. It is essential
to life - including human food production - and helps drive Earth's carbon cycle, climate change, stream runoff, and
water quality.PLEASE READ the FGDC-compliant metadata files that are available for each dataset (in .html, .txt, and .xml
formats). These files provide numerous details that may be of interest. The Boulder Creek CZO provides access to precomputed
DEMs and hillshades for this dataset here.; abstract: 2010 Boulder Creek, Colorado Snow-Off Lidar SurveysLidar was acquired
