Anglia Region Coastal Lidar Survey 2025

CCO Anglia lidar 2025 is a geospatial dataset containing 272 records of coastal lidar scans. The Marine Environmental Data & Information Network produced this data for the National Network of Regional Coastal Monitoring Programmes of England. The dataset was last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze coastal elevation changes using lidar point-cloud data for erosion studies.
• Model flood risk by integrating lidar-derived terrain height with tidal data.
• Monitor coastal habitat extent by classifying land cover from lidar return intensity.
• Assess infrastructure vulnerability by mapping building footprints and heights from point-cloud data.

Strengths

• Contains 272 distinct lidar survey records.
• Data is sourced from a national coastal monitoring program, ensuring standardized collection.

Limitations

• The specific spatial resolution, point density, and accuracy metrics for the lidar data are unknown.
• The dataset's 272 records may represent a limited geographic or temporal snapshot.
