NASA WERK Lidar - Post-Wildfire LA Palisades (1m, 2025)

1-meter resolution lidar-derived topographic products covering the Palisades wildfire area in western Los Angeles County (Pacific Palisades area). Data was collected in January 2025 following the Palisades wildfire to support post-fire damage assessment, erosion risk modeling, and recovery monitoring.

Bands: Digital Terrain Model (DTM), Digital Surface Model (DSM), Canopy Height Model (CHM), Slope, Aspect.

This dataset is part of the NASA Wildfire, Ecosystem Resilience, and Risk Assessment (WERK) initiative — a collaborative effort between NASA, the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA), and the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Products are derived from 3D airborne lidar point cloud data from the USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) and include elevation, slope, aspect, canopy height, canopy cover, and height percentiles. All files are in Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) format.
