Data in this repository includes four GeoTIFF files providing information of topography in Muskox Valley, located on the eastern side of Axel Heiberg Island, NU at coordinates 8813520, 482220, UTM projection, Zone 16N. 


Each GeoTIFF is projected in the following coordinate system: EPSG:32616 - WGS 84 / UTM zone 16N. The 

GeoTIFFs were derived from high-resolution LiDAR collected in Muskox Valley during a one-day field campaign on July 7, 2019, using the AkhkaR4DW backpack mobile laser scanning system. 


The portable unit collects high-precision 3D topographic data kinematically38 at a maximum spatial resolution of 0.1-1 cm. The system operation is based on Global Navigation Satellite System - Inertial Measurement unit (GNSS-IMU) positioning and observes GPS and GLONASS constellations for position. See the following publication or more information on the portable LiDAR unit:
