| Purpose | The purpose of this project was to produce a highly detailed and accurate bare earth elevation map of the Vicksburg National Military Park in Mississippi for natural resource managers and research scientists. | ||||||||
| Location | Vicksburg Natchez Trace | ||||||||
| Info derived | A bare earth elevation map (also known as a Digital Elevation Model, or DEM) of the Vicksburg National Military Park in Mississippi was produced from remotely sensed, geographically referenced elevation measurements cooperatively by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), National Park Service (NPS), and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Elevation measurements were collected over the area using the NASA Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL), a pulsed-laser ranging system mounted onboard an aircraft to measure ground elevation, vegetation canopy, and coastal topography. | ||||||||
