This dataset, located within the San Gabriel Mountain, CA was collected as an NCALM Seed grant for Christopher Gentile, University of California Riverside to investigate spatio-temporal distribution and legacy of large landslides in the San Gabriel Mountains, California. The requested survey area totaled approximately 40 km2 while the area actually surveyed totaled approximately 71.6 km2; coverage by the raster for the region provided below corresponds to the requested area while the point cloud dataset coverage corresponds to the surveyed area.

This dataset, located within the San Bernardino Mountains, CA, was collected as an NCALM Seed grant for Jesse Waco, San Jose State University, Geology Department to support an investigation of topographic stress control on subsurface weathered zone and seismic site conditions in southern California. The requested survey area is located approximately 25 km northwest of Palm Springs, CA. The polygon encloses approximately 64 km2. Note: A considerable percentage of the points in this dataset were classified as "building" (LAS class 6) although visual inspection indicates these points are mostly above-ground vegetation. For the purposes of distribution through OpenTopography, these points have been grouped with "unclassified" (LAS class 1) points to reduce point cloud classification to either "ground" or "unclassified" below.

This collection of ALSM data near Parkfield, California was collected as an NCALM Seed grant for Michael Vadman, Virginia Tech University. This dataset provides an opportunity to create a time-series of spatially-dense displacement measurements across the creeping/transitional portion of the San Andreas fault extending from 1929 to the present. The targeted portion of the fault has experienced fairly regular M5-6 earthquakes since the ~M7.9 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake, which ruptured from Parkfield to San Bernardino.

NCALM Project. PI: Jacob Selander, University of California, Davis. The original Seed project requested survey area of 40 km2 was defined by two irregular polygons located along the Harper Lake Fault in the areas adjacent Gravel and Waterman Hills. Additional funding was secured to add two additional areas also located along the faults and between the original two polygons. The combined area of all the four polygons totaled 75.875 km2. The final data collection has an area of 246 km2 The Harper lake fault is aligned between the towns of Barstow and Ridgecrest, California. Two flights were required to collect the data. Both flights took place on Sunday June 17, 2012. It was collected on a Sunday because part of the survey area are underneath Restricted airspace controlled by the Edwards Air Force Base and access to it is preferably granted on Sundays. Also due to airspace restrictions the flying height above average ground was 900m rather than the preferred 600m. The plan consisted of 16 project lines running NW-SE along the fault center line.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Geologic Hazards Science Center (Golden, CO) coordinated the acquisition of ~198 square kilometers of airborne Light Distance and Ranging (Lidar) data and derivative bare-earth ground models to support active fault studies in the Northern Walker Lane (California-Nevada border). Faults surveyed include from west to east the Mohawk Valley, Grizzly Valley, Honey Lake, and Warm Springs Valley fault systems. Specifications for the acquisition followed recommendations made by R. Haugerud et al. in a proposed specification for lidar surveys in the Pacific Northwest ( 2008). The data were acquired by Airborne Solutions Inc. The vendor reported an average shot density of 15-17 points/m2 and the vendor delivered bare-earth and first-return digital elevation models with a cell spacing of 0.25 m2. Project PI: Ryan Gold.

This dataset was collected as an NCALM Seed grant for PI Katherine Lowe, University of Michigan, for the purpose of studying the effects of topography on peak ground acceleration. The requested survey area consisted of a polygon located 70 km northwest of Los Angeles, CA. The polygon encloses approximately 45.13 square km.

NCALM Seed. PI: Kristin Morell, Penn State University. The survey area is 76.31 square kilometers, located 26 kilometers northwest of San Francisco, California in the Point Reyes National Seashore. This survey was flown as a part of Seed Money Survey Campaign that took place in Aug-Sept 2009. This section was surveyed over two days: Sept 8, 2009 and Sept 9, 2009. Lidar data was collected to investigate the landscape response to tectonics by studying the coupling between channels and hillslopes during transient adjustment to an increase in uplift rate.

NCALM Seed. PI: Zachery Lifton, Georgia Institute of Technology. The survey area consisted of a polygon located 15 km northeast of Bishop, California. The polygon is approximately 47 square kilometers. The survey took place on July 04, 2012. Data were collected to investigate new late Pleistocene slip rates on the White Mountain fault based on lidar data and geochronology.

This data contains the location of transects on the south facing slopes of Santa Cruz Island, CA that were used to collect percent cover and shrub abundance data. It was used in the analysis for the Manuspcript "Long-term impacts of exotic grazer removal on native shrub recovery, Santa Cruz Island, California". These same transects were sampled in 2004 and 2016 to gain a longer term view on native shrub reestablishment into exotic grasslands after exotic grazer removal.

This dataset was collected as an NCALM Seed grant for PI Kevin Delano of Central Washington University. The requested survey area is a rectangle located 9 km NW of Bishop, CA in an area known as the Volcanic Tablelands. The geomorphological and lidar data were collected for the purpose of determining late Pleistocene slip rates in the Volcanic Tablelands.
