NASA WERK Lidar - San Francisco (1m, 2023)

1-meter resolution lidar-derived topographic products covering the San Francisco Bay Area, collected in 2023. This dataset supports urban planning, coastal resilience assessment, and ecosystem monitoring across one of California's most densely populated regions.

Bands: Digital Terrain Model (DTM), Digital Surface Model (DSM), Canopy Height Model (CHM), Slope, Aspect.

This dataset is part of the NASA Wildfire, Ecosystem Resilience, and Risk Assessment (WERK) initiative — a collaborative effort between NASA, the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA), and the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Products are derived from 3D airborne lidar point cloud data from the USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) and include elevation, slope, aspect, canopy height, canopy cover, and height percentiles. All files are in Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) format.
