LiDAR and elevation data for Pakistan

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 Pakistan 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. A 2014 Pléiades-derived point cloud of the 2013 Balochistan earthquake rupture is on OpenTopography without a stated licence.
