NCALM Renewed and Will Include New Program
The National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping is pleased to announce that we have received NSF funding, for two more years, in our sixth project cycle. NCALM will continue to provide high-resolution, research-grade lidar surveys and will offer the annual competition for support of projects proposed by graduate students (NCALM Seed Program). NCALM remains fully capable to conduct surveys in all fifty states, as well as internationally. We welcome projects of any size.
In our renewal, we have funds in advance to quickly mobilize and conduct high-resolution topographic surveys. Proposals by faculty or research staff can be submitted directly to the new NCALM NOW Program. We anticipate requests in response to extreme events, such as fire, flood, earthquakes, or landslides, that require a rapid mobilization to capture the topographic response and to generate data that might be used in hazard warnings. This program is restricted to the contiguous United States.
