----------------------------------------------------------

Dataset Overview: The EarthScope Southern & Eastern California LiDAR project acquired high resolution LiDAR topography data along major active faults as part of the EarthScope Facility project. EarthScope is funded by NSF and conducted in partnership with the USGS and NASA. GeoEarthScope is a component of EarthScope that includes the acquisition of aerial and satellite imagery and geochronology. EarthScope is managed at UNAVCO.Please use the following language to acknowledge EarthScope LiDAR:This material is based on services provided to the Plate Boundary Observatory by NCALM (http://www.ncalm.org).
