OpenTopography

Standard DEMs

LiDAR topography processed and delivered as a standard digital elevation model (DEM) at the optimum resolution for the dataset often fit many users needs. These data are typically delivered as bare earth (ground) and full feature (all returns) surfaces organized into tiles (e.g. 1 km²). The DEMs are in a GIS compatible format and are compressed (zipped) to reduce their size.

Use the map below to browse and download standard DEM data hosted by OpenTopography. The extent of available data is shown on the map as polygons. There is a download "button" for each tile in the dataset. You will need to zoom into the area of interest to see all of the buttons. To download a DEM click the button and then select the link that appears in the pop-up window.

	EarthScope Intermountain Seismic Belt (ISB)
	The EarthScope Intermountain Seismic Belt LiDAR project acquired high resolution LiDAR topography data in tectonically active regions in Utah and Wyoming, including Yellowstone and Teton National Parks, as part of the EarthScope Facility project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

	EarthScope Southern & Eastern California LiDAR Project (SoCal)
	The EarthScope Southern & Eastern California LiDAR project acquired high resolution LiDAR topography data along major active faults as part of the EarthScope Facility project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Currently, LiDAR data is only available for the Garlock Fault portion of the dataset, additional data will be added as it is processed and delivered to OpenTopography.
