Mar 18, 2024 · As part of OpenTopography’s mission to democratize access to high resolution topography and advance our understanding of Earth’s surface, vegetation, and the built environment, we are dedicated to developing and supporting educational uses of topographic data.
Datasets listed below are hosted by OpenTopography and are available in point cloud format for download and processing (e.g., creating custom DEMs). In some cases derived data products such as raster and Google Earth Image overlays are also available.
What is OpenTopography? OpenTopography facilitates access to topography data, tools and resources to advance our understanding of the Earth’s surface, vegetation, and built environment. We provide web-based access to high-resolution (meter to sub-meter scale), regional and global (2-90 m resolution) topography data acquired with lidar, radar ...
OpenTopography online training resources for self-paced learning. Curriculum for Educators. For educators, OpenTopography provides curriculum modules that include lesson outlines, sample datasets, and student activities to integrate topographic data into the classroom. Workshops & Short Courses
The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) obtained elevation data on a near-global scale to generate the most complete high-resolution digital topographic database of Earth. SRTM consisted of a specially modified radar system that flew onboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour during an 11-day mission in February of 2000.
