Lidar point cloud, elevation models, GPS data, and imagery and orthomosaics from multispectral and true-color aerial imagery data, collected during UAS operations at Marsh Island, New Bedford, MA on October 26th, 2023

Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) were used to collect aerial remote sensing data over Marsh Island, a salt marsh restoration site along New Bedford Harbor, Massachusetts. Remediation of the site will involve direct hydrological and geochemical monitoring of the system alongside the UAS remote sensing data. On October 26th, 2023, USGS personnel collected natural (RGB) color images, multispectral images, lidar, and ground control points. These data were processed to produce a high resolution lidar point cloud (LPC), digital elevation models (surface and terrain), and natural-color and multispectral reflectance image mosaics. Data collection is related to USGS Field Activity 2023-025-FA and this release only provides the UAS portion.
