Funding Program(s): National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards - NACCH (GX.21.MN00.F4J20.00)

Data Source Information: 2019 USACE NCMP DUNEX Topobathy Lidar: East Coast (NC, VA): https://coast.noaa.gov/htdata/lidar4_z/geoid18/data/8886/

Information Specialist(s): Justin Birchler, Kara Doran

Data Type(s): Location-Elevation: LIDAR

Start Date: 2019-09-26

End Date: 2019-10-19

Equipment Used: Coastal Zone Mapping and Imaging Lidar (CZMIL)

Information to be Derived: classified topo/bathy lidar data

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Planned data coverage for this dataset includes the shoreline from the NC/VA Border to Cape Lookout, NC. Lidar and imagery data acquisition was focused on a 1500 meter swath of the shoreline that generally extends from the shoreline onshore 500 meters and from the shoreline offshore to 1000 meters or laser extinction, whichever occurs first.
