LiDAR and elevation data for China

None known No LiDAR was found after a genuine search of national, regional and international sources.

No national or regional airborne LiDAR programme with openly licensed data, and no openly licensed DEM at 5 m or finer, was identified for China in the national mapping agency, open-data portals or OpenTopography during the October 2026 review. Global DEMs such as Copernicus GLO-30 remain the practical elevation source. OpenTopography hosts numerous research surveys of active faults, such as the CC BY 4.0 Haiyuan rupture point cloud.
