Beetaloo GBA extended region spaceborne LiDAR data

\n## **Abstract** \nThe dataset was compiled by the Geological and Bioregional Assessment Program from multiple sources referenced within the dataset and/or metadata. The processes undertaken to compile this dataset are described in the History field in this metadata statement. The spatial point dataset represents an estimate of the top-of-canopy height for vegetation across the Beetaloo GBA extended region. The raw data was sourced from NASA's Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) - https://doi.org/10.5067/GEDI/GEDI02_A.001\n\n\n## **Attribution** \nGeological and Bioregional Assessment Program\n\n\n## **History** \nRelative canopy height 98th percentile (RH98) derived from the Global Ecosystem Dynamics (GEDI) Level 2A data (GEDI L2A Elevation and Height Metrics Data Global Footprint Level V001). Top-of-canopy height was extracted from raw .hdf5 data (accessible from https://e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov/GEDI/GEDI02_A.001/) and converted to ESRI shapefile format (.shp). Processing based upon Python routines described here: https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/resources/e-learning/getting-started-gedi-l2a-version-2-data-python/.
