USGS, St. Petersburg, Florida
Summary
These datasets provide lidar-derived topography for Anegada and a portion of the submerged environs. Elevation measurements were acquired on January 21, 2014 by an Optech Orion M300, and on March 19-20, 2014 by the second-generation Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL-B).
The authors acknowledge Emily Klipp, Chris Pali, Virgil Rabine, Rudy Troche, and Wayne Wright, all formerly of the USGS; Sharlene DaBreo, Jason Penn, and Christopher Williams of the Department of Disaster Management, British Virgin Islands; Alberto López of the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez; and Brian Andrews, Verita Friesner, and Craig Weaver of the USGS for their extensive logistical efforts, coordination contributions, and data support.
