Nebraska Statewide Elevation Program

Goals

The overall goal is to facilitate the acquisition, maintenance, and sharing of a statewide elevation dataset by developing standards and specifications for LiDAR point clouds and derivative products. This program will further develop alternatives for systematic and cost-effective acquisition of these products, and defining a program of stewardship for managing and publishing the data.

Status

The state has complete LiDAR coverage and areas are being recollected to refresh the data and to make sure all the LiDAR data for the state is at a QL2 level. If there are partners who want to help with the cost for specific areas, please contact someone on the GIS council or the Nebraska State GIS Coordinator
