OpenTopography 2: A Cyberinfrastructure-Enabled Facility for High-Resolution Topographic Data and Tools PI: ChaitanBaru (SDSC) Co-PIs: J Ramon Arrowsmith(ASU) Christopher Crosby (UNAVCO) ViswanathNandigam (SDSC) Democratize online access to high-resolution earth science-oriented, topography data acquired with LiDAR and other technologies.
OT Data Catalog Current OpenTopography Holdings How do we deliver these large community datasets to users? • Large user community with variable needs and levels of sophistication. • Goal: maximize access to data to achieve greatest scientific impact. • Big data – treat data as an asset that can be used and reused
Red: NSF Green: Fed agency Blue: State/non-profit Data Status • LiDARreturns: ~499.9 billion • Size on disk: 12+ TB • Area: 85,757 km2 • 108 (7 TLS) datasets • And growing! OpenTopography hosted data 13078.02 MOUs & Partnerships NSF: NCALM, UNAVCO, CZOs, LTER Other: World Bank, USGS, Tahoe Regional Planning Authority, Teton Conservation District, Oregon Lidar Consortium, Idaho Lidar Consortium, … Service Agreement: State of Indiana
OT Data Ingestion by Quarter • NCALM Data Status: • EarthScope, CZOs, PI datasets, seed projects • ~75% of NCALM data available via OT • More coming monthly
