UAS lidar Digital Terrain Model of a southern subset in Palo Alto Battlefield National Historic Park, Texas, March 2024
April 29, 2025
This is a 4cm resolution Digital Terrain Model (DTM) raster derived from an Unoccupied Aerial System (UAS; a DJI M600 equipped with a YellowScan Mapper+), lidar collected on March 26, 2024 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Uncrewed Systems Office (NUSO). It covers a southern portion of Palo Alto Battlefield National Historic Park in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of South Texas.

Context The relationship between slope and terrestrial animal locomotion is key to landscape ecology but underexplored across species. This is partly due to a lack of scalable methodology that applies to a diversity of wildlife. Objectives This study investigates the slope-speed relationship for two species, Texas tortoise (Gopherus berlandieri) and pronghorn (Antilocapra americana)...
