I have been preparing a lecture and I built some new simple videos flying along the San Andreas Fault. The videos are made by me flying along in Google Earth with 1 m hillshades produced from lidar topography data collected along the San Andreas Fault. The videos are on youtube in this play list: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFfZSFyNZ_jZm86F1TsnYfuuYNef_Uh21. I also put the MP4s in this folder--they are numbered 1-8 from NW-SE.
The flights follow generally along the San Andreas Fault from Point Arena to the southern Carrizo Plain (Dragon's Back and Northern Elkhorn Hills):
The data were processed at www.opentopography.org and come from 3 really cool datasets:
- EarthScope Northern California Lidar Project. Data collected by National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping.
- B4 project: southern San Andreas Fault laser scan. Data collected by National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping in collaboration with USGS, UNAVCO, and Ohio State University.
- Dragons Back Ridge: San Andreas Fault, California acquisition. Data collected by National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping in collaboration with George Hilley.
