[FEWSLab] LiDAR data for the entire Sierra Nevada

[Safeeq Khan]

Data Alert from Lorie Morenao @ CNRA

⭐NEW Publicly Available Data⭐| With the substantial dedication of funds by the California State Legislature, >30,000 square miles of LiDAR covering much of California’s Sierra Nevada are now freely available! These data, collected in 2022 between Lassen National Park to south of Bakersfield, were acquired with the financial contributions of the US Geological Survey, California Natural Resources Agency, UC San Diego ALERTCalifornia, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and US Forest Service.

✔️Data will be used by emergency managers, natural resource managers, and others, to protect communities and wildlands from the increasing effects of climate change, including wildfire 🔥 planning, response, and recovery.

✔️Partners will develop publicly available derived products that can be used to support 🌲 planning and monitoring efforts.

Please reach out if you have needs or questions about these data or derived products we are building.
