These data and information are intended for science
researchers, students from elementary through
college, policy makers, and general public.

LIDAR
Notes -
The Airborne LIDAR Assessment of Coastal Erosion (ALACE)
project was a partnership between NOAA, NASA, and U.S. Geological Survery
(USGS). It has been collecting baseline coastal topographic data for the
conterminous U.S. since 1996. NOAA left the partnership after the fall
2000 season, but USGS and NASA continue to collect data for research
purposes. This data may eventually be available via LDART. The ALACE
collections are typically targeted at a narrow strip of sandy beach and
are usually a kilometer or less in width. Many areas have both baseline
data and post-storm data. In general, this data has not been checked
with ground control, but has undergone internal consistency checks.
<BR>
The acquisition of baseline coastal topographic data primarily occurs
during the fall, prior to winter erosion and when the beach is generally
at its widest due to sand accumulation over the summer months. However,
research missions are also conducted at other times to study the coastal
impacts of weather phenomena such as El Nino or hurricanes. All flights
are timed to occur within a few hours of low tide, when the beach is
most exposed.
Similar information is available for thousands
of other USGS/CMG-related Activities.
If known, available are Activity-specific
navigation, gravity, magnetics, bathymetry,
seismic, and sampling data; track maps; and
equipment information; as well as summary
overviews, crew lists, and information
about analog materials.
If available, access to physical samples is
described in the "WR CMG Sample Distribution
Policy" at:
<http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/programs/html/main/sample-dist-policy.html>
