LAS dataset of LiDAR data collected at Lake Superior at Minnesota Point, Duluth, MN, August 2019
This dataset is a LAS (industry-standard binary format for storing large point clouds) dataset containing light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data representing beach topography of Lake Superior at Minnesota Point, Duluth, Minnesota. Average point spacing of the LiDAR points in the dataset is 0.137 meters (m; 0.45 feet [ft]). The LAS dataset was used to create a 1-m (3.28084 ft) digital elevation model (DEM) of the approximately 4 kilometer (2.5 mile) surveyed reach of the beach. LiDAR data were collected August 10, 2019 using a boat-mounted Optech ILRIS scanner and methodology similar to that described by Huizinga and Wagner (2019).
