    Project Details

    The Geodesy, Cartography and Cadastre Authority of Slovakia has made high-resolution Airborne Laser Scanning (ALS) data freely available, enabling a wide range of applications in disaster management, environmental protection, archaeology, hydrology, and land-use planning. By providing Digital Elevation Models, Surface Models, and Classified Point Clouds, the initiative supports emergency services, researchers, municipalities, and conservation agencies with precise, up-to-date geospatial data. This fosters innovation in monitoring natural hazards, planning resilient infrastructure, managing water resources, and exploring cultural heritage.
