Terrestrial lidar data from the 2017 Upper Scenic Drive Landslide, La Honda, California: classified point cloud and gridded elevation data from 2016-2017

July 13, 2018

This dataset consists of point cloud data collected in 2016 and 2017 of the lower and upper Scenic Drive landslide locations in La Honda, California. Point cloud data were collected in 2016 to establish baseline for movement detection of past landslides. Point cloud data were collected in 2017 adjacent and upslope of 2016 data to document a newly formed landslide. The data were collected with a Riegl VZ400 Terrestrial Laser Scanner and georeferenced using a Leica Viva GS15 survey grade GPS. The data are delivered as georeferenced (NAD83 UTM zone 10N ellipsoid) classified point clouds, 5 cm resolution digital elevation models, and a text file of surveyed GPS control points. The included files are: LH2017_Jan.laz LH2016_Jan.laz LH2017_5cm_DEM_be_tin.tif LH2017_5cm_DEM_bebldg_tin.tif LH2017_5cm_DEM_be_idp.tif LH2016_5cm_DEM_be_tin.tif LH2016_5cm_DEM_bebldg_tin.tif LH2016_5cm_DEM_be_idp.tif LH_GPS_control_points_NAD83_UTM_z10N_ell.txt
