Coastal LiDAR Data Available from NOAA

Posted on by

Hello CA GIS users,

As you may be aware, the California Ocean Protection Council, in partnership with USGS and NOAA Coastal Services Center, funded a LiDAR data collection effort along the California coast and San Francisco Bay, between 2009-2011. The data were made available last year through the NOAA Coastal Service Center’s Digital Coast Data Access Viewer.

The entire LiDAR dataset is now available for download via an ftp/http directory from the NOAA Coastal Service Center’s Digital Coast Data Registry. The data are packaged as .laz files. Please read the 0README file in the directory for instructions on how to download. For technical questions, please contact NOAA CSC staff, Keil Schmid at keil.schmid@noaa.gov.

The Ocean Protection Council is looking for illustrated examples of how the LiDAR data are being used. This can be an image, map, figure, etc you developed based on the LiDAR or DEMs.  We would like to use these illustrated examples in future presentations about how the LiDAR and derived products are applied. If you are able, please email me a screen capture or small jpeg for use in presentations, with your permission.

Thank you,

Clare

Google Maps Rebuilt

newgooglemaps

Google has rebuilt Maps from the “ground up”, with a new interface, search abilities, and faster performance.  Check it out at http://maps.google.com/preview .

Google Maps will be based on vector imagery delivered via WebGL.  Maps will also include 3D photographic imagery for some locations and user-uploaded photos.

Google has also updated its mobile apps for iOS and Android, which includes traffic alerts with live accident information and rerouting capabilities.  An iPad version will also be released this summer.

Meeting Reminder

Just a reminder that our next SoCalGIS meeting will be tomorrow, May 9th, at the City of Culver City.  More details and agenda on our Meetings page.

If you have not done so already through email or meeting invite, contact Michael Carson at mcarson@burbankca.gov and let him know you will be attending.  This will help us get an accurate count for refreshments.

Hope to see you there!

USGS Topo Data on the Go

Android and iPhone users can now use their mobile devices as digital topo maps, leveraging USGS maps together with the power of GPS to zoom in on their precise location while hiking, biking, running, or any other activity that benefits from precision navigation.

The type of data that are available includes USGS imagery and topographic maps from The National Map, as well as road and contour layers.  For more info, visit http://www.usgs.gov/newsroom/article.asp?ID=3580 .
