Bedrock exposure, canopy density, and runoff generation in the Rampart Range, CO 2018

<p>This 2018 airborne lidar dataset was collected by NCALM for the NSF-funded project, \"<i>Topographic response to the transition from snowmelt- to rainfall- triggered extremes</i>\". This study uses lidar data to characterize hillslope and river network properties to understand how rainstorm and snowmelt runoff drive large floods, erosion, and the long-term evolution of landscapes. The survey area is located northwest of Colorado Springs, CO and covers approximately 557 km².</p><p><br>Publications associated with this dataset can be found at <a href=\"http://calm.geo.berkeley.edu/ncalm/dtc.html\" target=\"_blank\">NCALM's Data Tracking Center</a></p>
