ABSTRACT: The primary goal of 3DEP is to systematically collect enhanced elevation data in the form of high-quality light detection and ranging (lidar) data over the conterminous United States, Hawaii, and the U.S. territories over an 8-year period. Interferometric synthetic aperture radar (IfSAR) data will be collected over Alaska. A 2015 USGS Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) established a competitive solicitation procedure for partnering with federal agencies for lidar acquisition. So far 3DEP has provided funds in partnership with 54 projects yielding over 200,000 sq. mi. of high-quality elevation products. This presentation will describe the program, review its impact on the northeast and highlight the tools used to make the program successful.
