  1. Thank you

  2. 3D Elevation Program 3D data include surface elevations and natural and constructed features 3DEP increases the quality level of lidar being acquired to enable more accurate understanding, modeling, and prediction Goal to acquire national coverage in 8 years 3DEP Applies ground-breaking lidar technology to acquire and distribute 3D data Addresses a broad range of critical applications of national significance

  3. Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) Oxford Dictionary: A detection system that works on the principle of radar, but uses light from a laser Inertial Measurement Unit (place mouse over the image to run the animated video)

  4. Light Detection and Ranging (lidar)

  5. Oil and Gas Resources Lidar slope data is essential for pipeline routing, construction planning, encroachment control, and asset inventories From NEEA Study, 2011

  6. Renewable Energy Resources Los Angeles County Solar Map informing homeowners about home solar potential - lidar provides roof pitch/aspect, etc. From NEEA Study, 2011

  7. Aviation Navigation and Safety Lidar used to detect potential obstacles From NEEA Study, 2011

  8. Lidar-Supported Science Understand, model, predict • Water Cycle • storage • snow depth • river discharge • flood models • Cryosphere • glacier mass -balance • ice flow dynamics • Solid Earth • landscape evolution • climate/tectonics/ erosion interactions • natural hazards • Vegetation • carbon storage • structure • disturbance • biodiversity • fire fuel loads

  9. Fire disturbanceHayman Fire, CO Pre-fire

  10. Fire disturbanceHayman Fire, CO Post-fire

  11. Forest Habitat and Biomass with Lidar Metrics estimated from lidar for forestry inventory and habitat assessments include: Canopy closure, width and height Tree stem density Total tree volume (m3/ha) Biomass Habitat suitability is closely related to forest structure

  12. Landslide Inventory Aerial photoimage (top) Lidar image (bottom) of same area provides visible evidence of landslide activity John Day, OR area

  13. Tsunami Inundation

  14. Severe Storm Impacts - Hurricane Isabel Island breach in Hatteras, NC - PI: Abbey Sallenger

  15. What is the 3D Elevation Program? Apply groundbreaking technology to address the mission-critical requirements of 34 Federal agencies, 50 states, and a sampling of local governments, tribes, private and not‐for profit organizations documented in the National Enhanced Elevation Assessment Increase the overall investment in 3D data from about $50 M to $146 M annually to return more than $690 million annually in new benefits Leverage collaboration among Federal, states, local and tribal partners to systematically complete national 3D data coverage in eight years Leverage the capability of private industry mapping firms, create jobs Achieve cost efficiencies 3DEP is a call for community action to… Precision Farming Land Navigation and Safety Geologic Resources and Hazards Mitigation Flood Risk Mitigation Natural Resource Conservation Infrastructure Management

  16. U.S. Interagency Elevation Inventory 17 2013 Status Map of Publicly Available Lidar and Ifsar • Only 4% of the lower 49 states meets the 3DEP quality goal (QL2 or better) lidar coverage • More than half the State of Alaska needs ifsar data to complete the 3DEP goal for coverage To view the inventory see: www.csc.noaa.gov/inventory
