Abstract

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) contracted the National Ecological Observatory Network Airborne Observation Platform (NEON AOP) to observe watersheds of interest surrounding Crested Butte, CO with remotely sensed data, including LiDAR. The flight box design encompassed the watersheds, surveying a total area of 334 km2 across 72 lines. The instrument used was an Optech Gemini, with a pulse density of 2-9 pulses m-2 across the study area (see final report document for detailed information). These LiDAR data are the primary data that were provided by NEON including LAZ files of a classified point cloud, and geotifs of a digital surface elevation model, digital terrain elevation model, and a canopy height model at 1 m resolution with a height threshold of > 2 m. Raster files can also be found on Google Earth Engine: https://code.earthengine.google.com/5c96bbc96ffd50e3c8b1433b34a0bb86.

NEON AOP Survey of Upper East River CO Watersheds: Waveform LiDAR Binary Data

Dataset Goulden, Tristan ; Worsham, H. Marshall ; Hass, Bridget ; ...

The waveform Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data in this package were generated through a National Ecological Observatory Network Airborne Observation Platform (NEON AOP) acquisition over watersheds of interest surrounding Crested Butte, Colorado. The remote sensing imagery acquired by the NEON AOP supports an interdisciplinary project on hydrology, biogeochemistry, and ecosystem functioning in a snow-dominated headwater environment. These waveform LiDAR data enable spatially continuous estimation of vegetation structure parameters to facilitate analyses of the major environmental drivers of structural and compositional variability. The package contains 97 compressed file archives in 7-zip (.7z) format, each corresponding to one acquisition flightpath. Withinmore »« less

Dataset Falco, Nicola ; Lamb, Jack ; Chen, Jiancong ; ...

The package contains data layers developed and used in Falco et al. 2024: “EcoImaging: Advanced Sensing to Investigate Plant and Abiotic Hierarchical Spatial Patterns in Mountainous Watersheds". The package is part of the DOE Watershed Function Science Focus Area (SFA) project and includes geophysical measurements collected at the East River, Colorado, in conjunction with the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) Airborne Observation Platform (AOP) survey conducted in June 2018. This dataset provide soil geophysical information and were used to investigate soil-plant relationships. The dataset consists of: - NEON_2018_EMI_survey.zip: the electromagnetic induction (EMI) survey as shape-file; - NEON_plot_TDR.csv: plot‑level data from Time‑Domain Reflectometry (TDR) measurements,more »« less
NEON AOP Imaging Spectroscopy Survey of Upper East River Colorado Watersheds: Raw-Space Radiance and Observational Variable Dataset

Dataset Goulden, Tristan ; Hulslander, David ; Hass, Bridget ; ...

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) contracted the National Ecological Observatory Network Airborne Observation Platform (NEON AOP) to observe watersheds of interest near Crested Butte, CO with remotely sensed data including imaging spectroscopy. The flight box design encompassed the watersheds, and flight design targeted a minimum of 30% overlap between adjacent flight lines. The total area surveyed was 334 km2 across 72 lines. Flight lines were oriented north-south for consistency in solar illumination geometry. Seven days were required to cover the flight area. Some areas were flown additional times to improve data quality or temporal coincidence between airborne acquisitions and fieldmore »« less

This data package contains the location, metadata, species composition, and vector files for the sampling sites in this project. Species vouchers that have been preserved in the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory herbarium can be found on the Consortia of Southern Rockymore »« less
