The 3D Elevation Program, managed by the US Geological Survey, is acquiring quality level 2 or better light detecting and ranging (lidar) data over the conterminous United States, Hawaii, and US Territories to meet the growing need for high-resolution 3-D representations of Earth's surface, vegetation, and constructed features. OpenTopography, supported by the USGS Community for Data Integration (CDI) program, is developing well-documented and customizable Jupyter Notebook-based Python workflows for programmatically accessing, processing, and visualizing 3DEP data products for a variety of use-cases geared toward USGS applications and for users of point cloud data across the geospatial community.
