    "This coloring book was assembled using high resolution topography data from the United States Geological Survey’s 3D Elevation Program to create detailed contour maps for each US State and the District of Columbia.
    Each State's contour interval (the vertical distance between elevation lines on a map) was selected to preserve the topographic details the State’s inhabitants know and love. Specifically major mountain ranges and river valleys."

  4. Fluvial System Block Diagrams
    --
    I was looking to understand a fluvial system the other day, up in the high Arctic, as I looked at 3DEP remote sensed elevation data… I have always been fascinated by the how geology, water, weather shapes a landscape, including erosion (aka geomorphology if you will) – and realized how very much value fluvial block diagrams have as we try to conceptualise what has, is and will happen(ed.)

  6. Happy New Year and Happy Mapping in 2025!

    I plan to boost some #introductions over the next few weeks. It's exciting to see a new wave and I hope that you enjoy the Fediverse!

    In the meantime, I've been working on refining a recipe for relative elevation models (REMs) using Dan Coe's methods. My 2025 goal is to cover most of the #Virginia rivers, but we'll see.

    Check out @FediTips for tips on how to use Masto.

  9. Getting Started On Diagramming This Project’s Workflow, ‘Old School’
    --
    Couple of 10s of pages of data inventory, roles and responsibilities, even the start of a RACI, pot of good black tea – now time to get started on diagramming this project’s workflow, components, interim data products, R&R, development and more #oldschoool, ready for full team involvement – ‘helpers’ notwithstanding!

    “One of the key aspects of 3DEP data is that data is verified by a collection of certified survey-grade GNSS checkpoints spread throughout each project. These points have always been available but were difficult to find and not standardized. [The USGS] have collated and standardized almost 42,000 of these checkpoints and are making them available for other uses. These points here in this first phase span from 2010-2017, but [the USGS] are in the process of making these available for all [their] projects, and hope to enable them in different ways in the future...”

    “Py3DEP is a part of [PyGeoUtils] HyRiver software stack that is designed to aid in hydroclimate analysis through web services. This package provides access to the 3DEP database which is a part of the National Map services. The 3DEP service has multi-resolution sources and depending on the user-provided resolution, the data is resampled on the server-side based on all the available data sources. Py3DEP returns the requests as xarray dataset…”

    “To respond to growing needs for high-quality elevation data, the goal of 3DEP is to complete acquisition of nationwide lidar (IfSAR in AK) to provide the first-ever national baseline of consistent high-resolution topographic elevation data – both bare earth and 3D point clouds. This dataset provides the raw 3D point clouds in the Cloud Optimized Point Cloud format, and various derived products as Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs…”

  19. Blow-Me-Down Brook, NH – An NHD Flowline Picked ‘Randomly’

    I am working on some hydroaddressing / network traversing technical approaches for 3DHP – and needed an example of a multisegment flowline in NHD-sourced dataset, and so ‘randomly’ got this one - Blow-Me-Down, NH, from WBD HUC4-0108.
    Although we map so many flowlines (~20 million in the USA for NHD-sourced spatial data, estimated 10x that for the EDH data still to be determined across the USA), I like trying to understand what a flowline or waterbody ‘is’ to the people on the ground as much as I can...
