Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: May 05, 2026 at 08:21 PM | Dataset Last Updated: March 18, 2026 at 12:00 AM
The IntELiMon team releases Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) derived datasets via the project's viewer daily. The datasets include multiple types of information related to each acquisition, including 3D point clouds, field observations, and surface and canopy fuel metrics in csv format. CSDGM FGDC XML metadata are included as a static accompanying file along with the dynamic datasets. Land managers and practitioners utilize monitoring activities to document current conditions, changes and trends to guide land management decisions. Monitoring information can be used to evaluate forestry, fuels, ecological change associated with ecological processes or because of management activities and are often extrapolated to evaluate management success or determine the needs of future work.
