boundaries: A boundary, also known as an Area of Interest (AOI) or border, that defines the area covered by the data. classified_points: Classified point cloud data are provided in LAZ format. Data are classified following ASPRS 2019 guidelines and contain return and intensity information. For all ground points, the average point spacing is 49.0 cm, and the average density is 4.16 pts/m2. dsm: The DSM represents surface elevations, including heights of vegetation, buildings, powerlines, bridge decks, etc. The DSM is a single-band, 32-bit GeoTIFF file of 50 cm resolution. No Data value is set to -3.40282306074e+38 (32-bit, floating-point minimum). dtm: The DTM represents bare earth elevations, excluding vegetation, bridge decks, buildings, etc. The DTM is a single-band, 32-bit GeoTIFF file of 50 cm resolution. No Data value is set to -3.40282306074e+38. lidar_intensity: The lidar intensity image describes the relative amplitude of reflected signals contributing to the point cloud. Lidar intensity is (1) primarily a function of scanned object reflectance in relation to the signal frequency, (2) dependent on ambient conditions, and (3) not necessarily consistent between separate scans. The intensity image is a single-band, 16-bit unsigned GeoTIFF file of 50-cm resolution. No Data value is set to 0.

This survey area is on the traditional homelands of the Stikine Tlingit people. This work was funded by the Disaster Relief Fund under the Governor's declared disaster order on November 21, 2023. Funding was made available to DGGS by the Alaska Department of Military and Veterans Affairs' Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. We thank Coastal Helicopters for their aviation expertise and contribution to these data products, Joe Delabrue of the U.S. Forest Service for logistical help, and David Ciampa and Amy Helkenn of the Alaska Division of Mining, Land and Water for providing ground control points. The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as necessarily representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of the U.S. Government.
The survey provides snow-free surface elevations for use in landslide hazard assessment following a November 20, 2023, debris flow that occurred near Milepost 11 of the Zimovia Highway
