High-resolution elevation mapping of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, and surrounding regions
We present detailed surface elevation measurements for the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica derived from aerial lidar surveys flown in the austral summer of 2014–2015 as part of an effort to understand geomorphic changes over the past decade. Lidar return density varied from 2 to > 10 returns m −2...
