The Portland Lidar Consortium comprises numerous state, Federal, and local government agencies (see list below) that are working together to obtain light detection and ranging (lidar) data over portions of Clatsop, Tillamook, Washington, Clackamas, Multnomah, Hood River, Marion, and Yamhill counties in Northwestern Oregon (see figure below). The Consortium is coordinated by the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries at the request of the U.S. Geological Survey and is working through the Puget Sound Lidar Consortium (PSLC), which has a standing contract with a lidar acquisition vendor (Watershed Sciences Inc.). The Oregon Department of Forestry is running a companion survey through PSLC.
