OpenTopography 2: A Cyberinfrastructure-Enabled Facility for High-Resolution Topographic Data and Tools PI: ChaitanBaru (SDSC) Co-PIs: J Ramon Arrowsmith(ASU) Christopher Crosby (UNAVCO) ViswanathNandigam (SDSC) Democratize online access to high-resolution earth science-oriented, topography data acquired with LiDAR and other technologies.
Current OpenTopography Holdings How do we deliver these large community data sets to users? • Large user community with variable needs and levels of sophistication. • Goal: maximize access to data to achieve greatest scientific impact. • Big data – treat data as an asset that can be used and reused
Red: NSF Green: Fed agency Blue: State/non-profit Data Status • LIDAR returns: ~499.9 billion • Size on disk: 12+ TB • Area: 85,757 km2 • 108 (7 TLS) datasets • And growing! 13078.02 MOUs & Partnerships NSF: NCALM, UNAVCO, CZOs, LTER Other: World Bank, Tahoe Regional Planning Authority, Teton Conservation District, Oregon Lidar Consortium, Idaho Lidar Consortium, NASA LVIS and GLAS, … Service Agreement: State of Indiana
OT Data Ingestion by Quarter Data Status • NCALM Data: • EarthScope, CZOs, PI datasets, seed projects • ~75% of NCALM data available via OT • More coming monthly
72,212 DEMs downloaded • ~2,500 registered users • 232 “power” users • 17,790 Pt. Cloud Jobs • 447 billion pts processed Usage Metrics: users & data access 400,000,000,000 Points processed 300 Unique users/month for point processing 5/2010 11/2012
Other resources: tools, education and outreach OT Tool registry--community populated clearinghouse of software, utilities, and tools oriented towards high-resolution topography data (e.g. collected with LiDAR technology) handling, processing, and analysis OT E&O: Short Courses & Workshops - Over subscribed; directly reached more than 150 participants, mostly students http://www.opentopography.org/index.php/resources/short_courses Significant tutorial content, including videos:
