Nueces River Delta 1-meter Topobathy Digital Elevation Model, 2007-02-04 to 2008-11-07

This dataset contains a combined 1-meter topographic and bathymetric digital elevation model (DEM) in ASCII grid format created from Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) point data and echosounder bathymetric data of the Nueces River Delta located northwest of Corpus Christi, Texas, within Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 14N. The LiDAR X, Y, and Z point data were collected between 2007-02-04 and 2007-02-06 generated by combining laser range and aircraft altitude data collected using an airborne LiDAR instrument with once-per-second data collected using geodetic quality (dual phase) Global Positioning System (GPS) airborne and ground-based receivers. The bathymetric data were collected between 2008-10-11 and 2008-11-07. This survey provided water depth data in support of the LiDAR survey flown and processed by the Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG) at the University of Texas at Austin (UT) for the Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program (CBBEP). The subject site is comprised of approximately 2500 acres of the Nueces River Delta under the control of CBBEP. Bathymetric data were collected by Environmental Risk Information Services (ERIS), Environmental and Geographic Information System (GIS) Consulting.
