Three new NCALM (National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping) datasets are now available from OpenTopography. Two of these datasets examine hydrologic processes that affect channel evolution and dynamics in the western US. These include a dataset along the central coast of California which was collected for Telemak Olsen at Western Washington University. This dataset was collected to help quantify channel change in response to a post-fire debris flow in a steep coastal stream in Big Sur, California. In addition, in August 2022, a dataset was collected over the Swan and Middle Fork Flathead rivers in Montana for Anna Marshall at Colorado State University. This dataset was collected to help understand sources and functions of spatial heterogeneity in determining channel evolution of large mountain rivers.
