SSHCZO -- Digital Elevation Model (DEM), GIS/Map Data, Land Cover, LiDAR, Soil Survey -- Shale Hills -- (2010-2010)

High-resolution Lidar data (average 10 points/m2 with 2-4 cm vertical accuracy) were collected for the Susquehanna Shale Hills CZO (Area = 169.80901 km2) during leaf-on (7/14/2010-7/16/2010) and full leaf-off (snow clear) (12/3/2010-12/9/2010). Data acquisition, ground-truthing, vegetation surveys and processing were funded and coordinated by NSF Award EAR-0922307 (PI. Qinghua Guo). Data was collected with the Gemini 06SEN/CON195 and digitizer 08DIG017 system installed on the Cessna 337 tail number N337P. Total points: 2,840,000,000 pts. Area: Area = 169 km2. Shot density: 13.54 points/m2. Survey report, with details about data processing: http://opentopo.sdsc.edu/metadata/2010_NCALM_CZO_Project_Report.pdf. All files are in ArcGRID format.
