Abstract

The mission of the National Geospatial Program (NGP) is to provide National topographic information to advance science, support government, enlighten citizens, and enable decision making. There are many components of the NGP such as The National Map, 3D Elevation Program (3DEP), National Hydrography, and National Digital Trails as examples. The goal of 3DEP is to complete acquisition of nationwide lidar (IfSAR in Alaska) to provide the first-ever national baseline of consistent high-resolution topographic elevation data, both bare earth and 3D point clouds. This presentation will highlight the status of 3DEP with an emphasis on the Rocky Mountain Region.
