LiDAR DEM of Boset volcano in Ethiopia

High-resolution light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data of Boset volcano in Ethiopia was collected and processed by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Airborne Research and Survey Facility (ARSF). The data was collected in November 2012 and used to create a digital elevation model (DEM) that has 2 m horizontal and 0.2 m vertical resolution. The LiDAR data was recorded within two swaths. The majority of the data is in a NNE striking swath (30 km length, 5.8 km width) parallel to the rift and a second narrow swath (26.5 km length, 0.75 km width) is across the remnant caldera wall of Gudda volcano. The LiDAR data has been geo-referenced by the NERC ARSF using GPS station ground control points located in the towns of Nazret and Wellenchiti. The file is a .dem file, which is a geospatial file format for storing a raster-based digital elevation model. The data is associated to the RiftVolc project, which is a NERC large grant NE/L013932.
