Center for Lidar Information Coordination
and Knowledge (CLICK)
The USGS is currently taking the lead in cooperation with many partners
in the evaluation of a potential future high-resolution National Light
Detection and Ranging (lidar) Dataset. We are in the early stages of
determining viability, developing what this dataset should look like,
what kinds of information contained in a lidar signal are most
important for the U.S. people, and what each stakeholders roles and
responsibilities could be.
In February 2007, we hosted the first National Lidar Initiative Strategy
Meeting at USGS Headquarters in Reston, VA. The presentations and a
published summary report from the first meeting can be found on our
Center for Lidar Information Coordination and Knowledge (CLICK)
web page: http://lidar.cr.usgs.gov.
We will be hosting a second meeting May 21-22nd 2008 at USGS
Headquarters in Reston, VA to further discuss this mission and
hopefully move forward on actions. We are also leading the formation
of an Interagency Lidar Working Group to help evaluate, organize and
design this strategy with a unified voice.
