By Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) Applications Project
December 19, 2018
Light detection and ranging (lidar) wave-form processing capabilities are being developed to utilize the U.S. Geological Survey Coastal and Marine Geology Program Experimental Advanced Airborne Research (EAARL) sensor. The EAARL lidar point cloud collection consists of highly detailed submerged and shallow bathymetry (water depth) of river channels, which will be merged with land elevation surfaces (topography) to derive topobathymetric elevation models.
IIn 2014, a Delaware River Basin focal region was hydrologically-enforced for drainage structures (culverts/bridges) that impeded down slope surface flow across the digital elevation model (DEM). The addition of the submerged bathymetric elevation data from the EAARL acquisition will enhance the hydrologically-enforced DEM, allowing scientists to study surface flow in the river channel.

Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) Applications Project
High-resolution coastal elevation data is required to identify flood, hurricane, and sea-level rise inundation hazard zones and other earth science applications, such as the development of sediment transport and storm surge models. Light detection and ranging (lidar) enables the rapid collection of very accurate elevation data over large areas, and during the last decade, airborne laser altimetry...
