2019 AK DGGS Lidar DEM: Utqiagvik - Atqasuk, Alaska

Published by Office for Coastal Management | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 25, 2026 at 10:38 PM | Dataset Last Updated: January 01, 2022 at 12:00 AM

Lidar-derived elevation data for the Utqiagvik-Atqasuk region, Alaska, collected August 2019, Raw Data File 2022-10, provides classified point cloud, digital terrain model (DTM), surface model (DSM), and intensity model data for the communities of Utqiagvik and Atqasuk and surrounding areas. The data were collected in support of the Alaska Strategic Transportation and Resources (ASTAR) program for the purpose of investigating the potential for future road infrastructure connecting the communities. Aerial lidar data were collected between August 19 and 23, 2019, and subsequently processed using a suite of geospatial processing software. These products are released as a Raw Data File with an open end-user license. All files can be downloaded from the Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys website (http://doi.org/10.14509/30870). The NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) downloaded this data set from this AK DGGS site: https://elevation.alaska.gov/ These files were processed to make the data available for custom and bulk download from the NOAA Digital Coast Data Access Viewer (DAV) . The total number of files downloaded and processed was 1. In addition to these bare earth Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data, the lidar point data that these DEM data were created from, are also available. These data are available for custom download at the link provided in the URL section of this metadata record.
