Fugro Updates Alaska Statewide Mapping

  • Rating12345

Fugro EarthData announced today it has delivered the first tiles of updated orthoimagery and digital elevation model (DEM) for the Alaska Statewide Digital Mapping Initiative’s (SDMI) multi-year program to develop new mapping of the entire state. Fugro is processing hundreds of Spot satellite images for the Statewide Imagery Acquisition project to be completed over the next 3-4 years. Fugro also collected airborne GeoSAR data over one tenth of the state last summer and is currently processing the data to develop the Alaska Mid-Accuracy DEM.

Funded under a state and federal cost partnership, the goal of the SDMI is to provide new and improved base mapping that can be used by many organizations to include local, state, tribal, and federal governments; businesses; and the scientific research community. New, up-to-date statewide geospatial information will directly contribute to a broad range of applications from aviation safety, to infrastructure planning, to natural resources management.
