Northern California GeoEarthScope LiDAR Hillshades in Google Earth
This Google Earth file (KMZ) provides access to 1 meter resolution bare earth hillshades from the Northern California GeoEarthScope LiDAR topography dataset. By downloading this file and opening it in Google Earth, users are able to browse hillshades with two illumination angles (315 and 45 degrees) for faults in the northern San Andreas fault system. The extent of the LiDAR data is shown by the cyan colored outlines. The hillshades will load once the user has zoomed into an area of interest.
Tips:
-You must zoom in for the data to load. If you are not seeing data, try zooming in a bit more.
-Accessing the LiDAR data will require that you have a strong and consistent internet connection.
-The transparency of the LiDAR hillshades can be adjusted using the slider bar at the bottom of the PLACES menu in the left hand navigation bar.
The GeoEarthScope Northern California LiDAR data were acquired as part of the EarthScope Facility project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
