schematic - this graphic depicts an airborne lidar system, a remote sensing detection system that uses light from a laser. The quick light pulses measure the distance from the plane to the surface and back. GPS is used to help pinpoint location and time for greater accuracy.

map - the seamless 1-meter Digital Elevation Model (DEM) for the Lower Androscoggin watershed in Maine, produced by scientists at NGTOC and EROS. Elevations run from low elevation in light blue on up to tan, green, yellow, red and finally gray/white. The lowest point in the watershed is -.109777 meters, and the highest is 1,916.04 meters.

This photo was taken at USGS gaging station 01055000 on the Swift River near Roxbury, Maine. The falls is most commonly referred to as Swift River Falls and has many potholes and scours that demonstrate the impressive ability of water to errode rock.

Consolidated Standardized Survey-Grade Checkpoints 3DEP 2010 to 2017 [USGS]

“One of the key aspects of 3DEP data is that data is verified by a collection of certified survey-grade GNSS checkpoints spread throughout each project. These points have always been available but were difficult to find and not standardized. [The USGS] have collated and standardized almost 42,000 of these checkpoints and are making them available for other uses. These points here in this first phase span from 2010-2017, but [the USGS] are in the process of making these available for all [their] projects, and hope to enable them in different ways in the future...”

photo - View to the southwest of the eastern front of the Gallatin Range from Gardners Hole. The East Gallatin-Reese Creek fault system runs along the base of the range at the prominent break-in-slope in the trees.

maps - Lidar hillshade maps of fault scarps that offset Pinedale glacial till along the East Gallatin-Reese Creek fault system (EGRCFS) near Fawn Creek (A) and Panther Creek (B). Fault scarps are visible as darker lineaments in the hillshade and are marked by the black arrows. Red rectangles on inset maps show location along the EGRCFS.

map - Shaded relief location map for the East Gallatin-Reese Creek fault system (EGRCFS) in northwest Yellowstone National Park (YNP). The location of the EGRCFS is shown as mapped in the U.S. Geological Survey Quaternary Fault and Fold Database, subdivided into the southern East Gallatin section (blue dashed line) and the northern Reese Creek section (black dashed line). Red rectangle on inset map shows location within Yellowstone National Park.
