Lesson 11a - The US Interagency Elevation Inventory (USIEI)
The US Interagency Elevation Inventory, or USIEI, is a nationwide listing of known publicly available high-accuracy topographic and bathymetric source elevation data for the United States and its territories. The inventory provides a single resource for information about all known completed and in-progress broad-area public domain elevation data.
Lesson 11b: Using 3DEP BAA Public Areas of Interest Project Collector
In this lesson you will learn how use the public areas of interest project collection tool to add your lidar project to the Seasketch Demonstration Site for Federal Mapping Data Acquisition Coordination.
Lesson 11b2: Using the 3DEP BAA – Areas of Interest Project Collector
In this lesson you will learn how to use the USGS areas of interest project collection tool to add your lidar project to the Seasketch Demonstration Site for Federal Mapping Data Acquisition Coordination.
Creating a KML file and Shapefile (Lesson 11c)
Lesson 11c: Creating a KML file and Shapefile - In this lesson, you will learn how to create a KML file for your area of interest in Google Earth, and how to create a shapefile using the SeaSketch Interagency Elevation and Bathymetry Coordination site.
Lesson 11d: Using SeaSketch to View 3DEP Lidar Areas of Interest
In this lesson you will learn how to zoom to your area of interest and view the footprints of existing and proposed topographic lidar projects.
