Lidar / Elevation Map Links

Post by Joel_graff »

After a discussion with @microelly2, we decided it might be a good idea to catalog Lidar, DEM, etc resources throughout the world for reference.

So, here's a brief list I've managed to develop after about an hour of random searching. Unfortunately, most of it is US-based, but I was also focused mostly on Lidar data. A lot of these links also include GIS-specific data.

Please add to the list if you know of anything that isn't included here.

United States
-----------------------------
  • State of North Carolina (different than Wikipedia link, requires login) - //sdd.nc.gov/sdd/
United Kingdom
-------------------------------- Spain
------------------- France
--------------------- Antarctica
------------------------- Canada
---------------------- Other

For the UK, the environment agency links have moved and do not work anymore

My post described the answer - it wasn't a question.
