DOGAMI has been supervising and coordinating the collection of large swaths of high resolution, high accuracy lidar data in Oregon and adjacent states since 2006. Following a successful 2500 mi² consortium effort in the Portland urban area, the Oregon legislature designated DOGAMI as the lead agency for lidar acquisition in Oregon. DOGAMI used a nationwide selection process that resulted in a state price agreement (OPA 8865) with Watershed Sciences Inc. of Corvallis, Oregon. The price agreement specifies data collection (8 pulse/m², Z_error < 12cm RMSE) and product standards (LAS points, 3ft or 1m bare earth and highest hit DEMs, 1.5ft intensity images, metadata) with a pre-determined unit cost to DOGAMI based on the size of the project area. Since developing OPA 8865 in April 2008, DOGAMI has ordered 13 large lidar flights, totaling 17,500 mi², has taken final delivery of 16,000 mi² of data. Funding for these projects has come from consortia organized by DOGAMI that include several dozen Federal, State and local government agencies, non-profits and public utilities. The data quality for all projects that DOGAMI has completed under OPA 8865 has been consistently excellent, substantially exceeding the minimum specifications. All DOGAMI lidar data is in the public domain, please reference DOGAMI as the data source.

All DOGAMI lidar program data are systematically evaluated for:
Completeness and useability by loading all files; swath to swath consistency by using TerraMatch to compare elevations of millions of coincident points from adjacent swaths, all values to date < 5cm; absolute vertical accuracy by comparing delivered DEMs to an large independent set of RTK GPS control points collected by DOGAMI, all values to date < 7cm RMSE; grid artifacts by visual examination of hillshade and slopeshade images of all bare earth and highest hit DEMs.

The Lidar Data Viewer interactive map shows the current extent of lidar data for the state of Oregon, including downloadable data by 7.5 minute USGS quadrangle. The data are maintained by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI).

Newberry Volcano, one of the largest Quaternary volcanoes in the conterminous United States, is a broad shield-shaped volcano measuring at least 60 km north-south by 30 km east-west with a maximum elevation of more than 2 km above sea level. It is the product of deposits from hundreds of eruptions, including at least 25 in (approximately) the last 12,000 years (the Holocene Epoch). Newberry Volcano has erupted as recently as 1,300 years ago, but isotopic ages indicate that the volcano began its growth as early as 0.6 million years ago. Such a long eruptive history together with recent activity suggests that Newberry Volcano is likely to erupt in the future. This DEM (digital elevation model) of Newberry Volcano contributes to natural hazard monitoring efforts, the study of regional geology, volcanic landforms, and landscape modification during and after future volcanic eruptions, both at Newberry Volcano or elsewhere globally. Acquisition of these high-precision, airborne lidar (Light Detection And Ranging) data was funded as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. Data were collected through the Oregon LiDAR Consortium, administered by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). Watershed Sciences was contracted to collect 500 square miles of high-precision airborne lidar data to produce a digital map of the ground surface beneath forest cover. The lidar-derived DEM is amended to include bathymetric surveys of East Lake and Paulina Lake. The bathymetric surveys were performed in June, 2001 by Bob Reynolds of Central Oregon Community College, Bend, Oregon. The bathymetry is mosaicked into the DEM in place of the lidar derived lake surfaces. This release is comprised of a DEM dataset accompanied by a hillshade raster, each divided into eighteen tiles. Each tile’s bounding rectangle is identical to the extent of the USGS 7.5 minute topographic quadrangles covering the same area. The names of the DEM tiles are eleven characters long (e.g., dem_xxxxxx) with the prefix, "dem", indicating the file is a DEM and the last seven characters corresponding to the map reference code of the quadrangle defining the tile's spatial extent. Hillshade tile names are denoted by the prefix "hs", but are otherwise identical to the DEM they are derived from.

This data set includes Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data, a remote sensing processing report, and a geologic map of the Glass Buttes study area for ORMAT. The total area flown for the LiDAR remote sensing was 86,631 acres to fully encompass the area of interest (84,849 acres). The "LiDAR Remote Sensing Report" reflects statistics for the overall LiDAR survey. An airborne hyperspectral scanner imagery survey over an area in Glass Buttes, Oregon. The "HyMap Survey Processing Report" describes the processing that has been applied to the HyMap data to produce a number of image products including overview colour composites, decorrelation colour composites, minimum noise fraction (MNF) colour composites, and unmixed end-member mineral map. To produce these products the data first has various processes applied to it that converts the raw data into reflectance imagery which is then geometrically corrected and radiometrically leveled so that seamless image mosaics are produced. A detailed geologic map with cross sections of the Glass Buttes Volcanic Complex, Oregon is also included.

This lidar dataset was collected as part of an NCALM Seed grant for Jonathan Sheppard at the University of Oregon. This dataset was collected to map changes in vegetation after deep-seated landslides. The study area is east of Dunes City, Oregon and covers approximately 14 km2

Geomorphic mapping establishes the basic context for understanding modern channel conditions by (1) defining major elements of the late Cenozoic geologic history shaping the geomorphology of the study area; and (2) outlining the active geomorphic floodplain, which is the domain for assessing channel change and floodplain vegetation conditions. The mapping domain broadly corresponds with the extent of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) topography acquired in November, 2004 (Watershed Sciences, 2005) and includes the broad alluvial valleys of the lower Sycan River, mainstem Sprague River, and lower North Fork of the Sprague River. The mapping encompasses the main floodplains and contiguous alluvial and colluvial landforms. The geomorphic mapping was based on aerial photographs, LiDAR topography acquired in November 2004 (Watershed Sciences, 2005), U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minute topographic maps, existing soil mapping (Cahoon, 1985), prior geologic mapping (primarily Sherrod and Pickthorn, 1992), reconnaissance field observations, and stratigraphic sections, primarily along bank exposures but supplemented by augering.

This dataset was created using aerial Lidar collected on March 25, 2022 at a density of greater than 12 points per square meter. Lidar points classified as buildings were used to automatically generate building polygons. Resulting buildings were reviewed for completeness. Buildings not defined using Lidar returns were manually collected using 0.25'-pixel aerial imagery collected on April 2, 2022.

Laser beach mapping uses a pulsed laser ranging system mounted onboard an aircraft to measure ground elevation and coastal topography. The laser emits laser beams at high frequency and is directed downward at the earth's surface through a port opening in the bottom of the aircraft's fuselage. The laser system records the time difference between emission of the laser beam and the reception of the reflected laser signal in the aircraft. The aircraft travels over the beach at approximately 60 meters per second while surveying from the low water line to the landward base of the sand dunes.

These data represent a portion of the forest inventory data used in Hudak et al. (2020) "A carbon monitoring system for mapping regional, annual aboveground biomass across the northwestern USA". This study used forest inventory data located in lidar units along with Landsat data, topographic metrics, and climate metrics to create maps of forested biomass across the northwestern USA (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and western Montana.) The data requirements for inclusion in this study included: 1. fixed-area plots, 2. plots centers were recorded using a global navigation satellite system receiver (e.g., a GPS receiver) capable of differential correction, and 3. plots were located in a lidar unit where tree data were collected within 3 years of the lidar collection. A shapefile of the lidar units can be found in Fekety and Hudak (2020, https://doi.org/10.3334/ORNLDAAC/1766). The forest inventory data presented here (n = 2,680 plots) include all data that could be made publicly available and have been compiled from numerous existing datasets. The forest inventory data were collected using project-specific sampling plans and therefore these data have been formatted to be read by the Forest Vegetation Simulator (FVS; https://www.fs.usda.gov/fvs/). The forest inventory data in this dataset were collected between 2002 and 2017 and located in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, USA.These data were used in combination with lidar, topographic, and climate datasets to create annual aboveground biomass maps across the northwestern United States for the years 2000-2016.These data were published on 04/29/2020. Minor metadata updates were made On 04/18/2024.
