Chesapeake Bay Region Virginia River Bluff and Wetland Extent Mapping - 2020 Field Survey Data
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) scientists conducted field data collection efforts during June 11th - 16th, 2020, using a combination of remote sensing technologies to map riverbank and wetland topography and vegetation at five sites in the Chesapeake Bay Region of Virginia. The five sites are located along the James, Severn, and York Rivers. The work was initiated to evaluate the utility of different remote sensing technologies in mapping river bluff and wetland topography and vegetation for change detection and sediment transport modeling. The USGS team collected Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), total station, and ground based lidar (GBL) data while the VIMS team collected aerial imagery using an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). This data release contains shapefiles of the processed GNSS and total station data, point clouds in the form of lidar data exchange (las) files from the ground lidar data and aerial imagery produced via Structure from Motion (SfM).
