Nogahabara Sand Dunes LIDAR survey
This LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) survey of Nogahabara Sand Dunes and surrounding topography within Koyukuk National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska, was conducted in September, 2015.Abstract
The Nogahabara Dunes represent one of three active inland dune fields found in Alaska today. In an effort to update geospatial coverage of the dunes, LIDAR data was collected over Nogahabara Sand Dunes in September 2015 using a 1955 Cessna 180 aircraft equipped with a Riegl brand LMS-Q240i laser scanner. This dataset provides information needed to reproduce a digital model of the Nogahabara Dune Field located in interior Alaska. The survey produced high resolution, baseline, geospatial data regarding dune surface features, characteristics, and extent. data regarding dune surface features, characteristics, and extent as of September 2015.
