NASA WERK Lidar - NorCal Camp Fire (1m, 2018)

1-meter resolution lidar-derived topographic products covering the Camp Fire area in Northern California (Paradise/Chico area), collected in 2018. The Camp Fire was the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history. This dataset supports long-term post-fire recovery monitoring and watershed analysis.

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.
