2026 Big Sky GeoCon - From Data to Design

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 3D Hydrography Program (3DHP) is revolutionizing hydrographic data by integrating high-resolution elevation data with hydrographic features through Elevation-Derived Hydrography (EDH). This presentation will showcase the enhanced accuracy and utility of EDH data in applications including improved flood modeling, watershed management, and precise mapping for engineering projects. Additionally, the session will explore collaboration opportunities with federal, state, local, and private entities to build a comprehensive hydrographic data ecosystem.
