Topographic Science Topographic Science
The mission of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center Topographic Science is to establish partnerships and conduct research and applications that facilitate the development and use of integrated national and global topographic datasets. Topographic Science includes a wide range of research and applications that result in improved seamless...

Coastal sensitivity to sea level rise— A focus on the Mid-Atlantic Region Coastal sensitivity to sea level rise— A focus on the Mid-Atlantic Region
This Synthesis and Assessment Product (SAP), developed as part of the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, examines potential effects of sea-level rise from climate change during the twenty-first century, with a focus on the mid-Atlantic coast of the United States. Using scientific literature and policy-related documents, the SAP describes the physical environments; potential changes to...

Mapping and Visualization of Storm-Surge Dynamics for Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita Mapping and Visualization of Storm-Surge Dynamics for Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita
The damages caused by the storm surges from Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita were significant and occurred over broad areas. Storm-surge maps are among the most useful geospatial datasets for hurricane recovery, impact assessments, and mitigation planning for future storms. Surveyed high-water marks were used to generate a maximum storm-surge surface for Hurricane Katrina extending...

The National Map - Elevation The National Map - Elevation
The National Elevation Dataset (NED) is the primary elevation data product produced and distributed by the USGS. The NED provides seamless raster elevation data of the conterminous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and the island territories. The NED is derived from diverse source data sets that are processed to a specification with a consistent resolution, coordinate system, elevation...

Analysis of lidar elevation data for improved identification and delineation of lands vulnerable to sea-level rise Analysis of lidar elevation data for improved identification and delineation of lands vulnerable to sea-level rise
The importance of sea-level rise in shaping coastal landscapes is well recognized within the earth science community, but as with many natural hazards, communicating the risks associated with sea-level rise remains a challenge. Topography is a key parameter that influences many of the processes involved in coastal change, and thus, up-to-date, high-resolution, high-accuracy elevation...

An enhanced global elevation model generalized from multiple higher resolution source datasets An enhanced global elevation model generalized from multiple higher resolution source datasets
Global digital elevation models are routinely used in a variety of earth science applications. GTOPO30, a widely used global elevation model produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, was produced in the mid-1990s from several regional sources of elevation information. Since the time GTOPO30 was developed, new and improved sources of elevation data have become available, and the U.S...

Topography-based analysis of Hurricane Katrina inundation of New Orleans Topography-based analysis of Hurricane Katrina inundation of New Orleans
The ready availability of high-resolution, high-accuracy elevation data proved valuable for development of topographybased products to determine rough estimates of the inundation of New Orleans, La., from Hurricane Katrina. Because of its high level of spatial detail and vertical accuracy of elevation measurements, light detection and ranging (lidar) remote sensing is an excellent...

CLICK: The new USGS center for LIDAR information coordination and knowledge CLICK: The new USGS center for LIDAR information coordination and knowledge
Elevation data is rapidly becoming an important tool for the visualization and analysis of geographic information. The creation and display of three-dimensional models representing bare earth, vegetation, and structures have become major requirements for geographic research in the past few years. Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) has been increasingly accepted as an effective and...

New products from the shuttle radar topography mission New products from the shuttle radar topography mission
New data products with broad applicability to the Earth sciences are now available from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). SRTM, a joint project of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) and NASA, flew aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on an 11-day mission in February 2000 with the goal of collecting a near-global data set of high-resolution elevation data [Fan and...
