LiDAR (DEM) Barrow Experimental (BE) grid Barrow, Alaska 2011

At the end of the summer 2011 we took LiDAR measurements to depict Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the tundra vegetation within a 20x50 meter grid in Barrow, Alaska. This study site was chosen because of its obvious and interesting thermokarst characteristics. The LiDAR equipment was placed in si...

Description
Summary:At the end of the summer 2011 we took LiDAR measurements to depict Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the tundra vegetation within a 20x50 meter grid in Barrow, Alaska. This study site was chosen because of its obvious and interesting thermokarst characteristics. The LiDAR equipment was placed in six different positions around the grid targeting the area of interest. The data is separated into those six distinct positions. The data provided is a series of XYZ text files.
