The FY25 3D Elevation Program DCA is Closed
The initial deadline for project submissions was September 13, 2024
3D Nation Study - RESULTS ARE IN!
Study documents $13.5 billion of benefits for 1,352 mission critical requirements for topographic and inland, nearshore, and offshore bathymetric 3D elevation data
3D Elevation Program Supports Broadband Internet Access
3DEP will Provide High-Quality Elevation Data for the Salton Sea
Lidar will be used to identify geothermal and mineral resources for DOE/USGS Initiative
3DEP lidar data to improve knowledge of the geologic framework
Data acquisition for parts of Nevada & California
Spatial Metadata
The Work unit Extent Spatial Metadata is a good source of information for current lidar data availability and basic information about lidar projects.
3D Elevation Program
To respond to growing needs for high-quality elevation data, the goal of 3DEP is to complete acquisition of nationwide lidar (IfSAR in AK) to provide the first-ever national baseline of consistent high-resolution topographic elevation data – both bare earth and 3D point clouds.
