  1. USGS National Map: Elevation Data Requirements Meeting August 16, 2007 U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey

  2. Status of Elevation Program - NGPO/USGS Requirements for FY2008 and beyond Status of NED VA Elevation USGS elevation requirements over Virginia Elevation Requirements Meeting

  3. Acquisition Strategy Drivers Emergency response and homeland security issues National science priorities Need for finer resolution elevation data in support of internal and user community needs Closer alignment with orthoimagery needs and acquisitions Graphic requirements Elevation Requirements Meeting

  4. Acquisition Strategy TNM and Director’s requirements Elevation to support contours for 7.5 minute graphic products (Image and Topographic map) deep from coastline FY08 – Gulf and southern east coast, some science-related projects, border FY09 – northern east coast, west coast, science-related projects and borders Elevation Requirements Meeting

  6. Acquisition Strategy TNM and Director’s requirements (cont) Base data to underpin Director’s Science strategy as detailed in Circular 1309, Facing Tomorrows Challenges-US Geological Survey Science in the Decade 2007 (http://sofia.usgs.gov/publications/circular/1309/) Climate change Energy and materials National hazards Elevation Requirements Meeting

  7. Acquisition Strategy Other requirements DOIHealthy Lands programs State and local NED update 1/9 arc second (3m) 1/3 arc-second (10m) from 1/3 acquisitions and TVCs 1 arc-second (30m) from 1/9 and 1/3 data Elevation Requirements Meeting

  8. Virginia NED status Poor – mainly 10m data from 30m source Some TVC work in progress NGA UA lidar: 1m, core UA footprints Richmond Norfolk Williamsburg Northern Virginia (part of DC coverage) Elevation Requirements Meeting
