Abstract

2010 Coastal Georgia Elevation Project
Track: Imagery
Authors: Chris Chalmers, Jeff Simmons

Coastal Regional Commission (CRC) is working to bring high level elevation data to the Georgia Coast through the Coastal Georgia Elevation Project (CGEP). The CRC has built a collation of Cities, Counties, Educational Institutions, State and Federal Agencies and Private Sector organizations to accomplish this massive task. This group has been worked out technical specifications for a LiDAR flight, heard from vendors who provide LiDAR and have vast LiDAR experience, and can assess the needs for future digital products to be generated as part of this undertaking.
This consortium of partners has come together to provide the CGEP with the full funding for the project.
This acquisition for current LiDAR derived high-resolution elevation data is for the full extent of Coastal Georgia., approximately 50 miles inland; an area of approximately 4703 sq. miles. This project is within the 50-mile Atlantic coastal priority area.
