Datasets compiled from multiple sources

Dataset name Equipment Description Dataset contact
NJ_Raw_slopes Experimental Advanced Airborne Research LIDAR (EAARL) Raw, non-interpolated endpoint slope data between the location of the Mean High Water and seaward-most dune toe elevations Kara S Doran
NJ_Mean_slopes Experimental Advanced Airborne Research LIDAR (EAARL) Mean slope data between the endpoint locations of the Mean High Water and seaward-most dune toe elevations, interpolated to a 200 m alongshore resolution using a 400 m wide Hanning window Kara S Doran
Noreasters_erosion_hazards Experimental Advanced Airborne Research LIDAR (EAARL) Probabilities of nor'easter-induced erosion (collision, overwash and inundation) for each 1-km section of the Mid- and Northeast Atlantic coast, from North Carolina through Maine, for class 1-3 nor'easters Justin J Birchler
Lidar_Footprints_Merged Experimental Advanced Airborne Research LIDAR (EAARL) Merged footprint of all lidar data published by the USGS SPCMSC since 2001 Breanna N Williams
Lidar_Footprints_Individual Experimental Advanced Airborne Research LIDAR (EAARL) Individual footprints of lidar data published by the USGS SPCMSC since 2001 Breanna N Williams
NFWF_NJ_NY_BeachVolume Experimental Advanced Airborne Research LIDAR (EAARL) Beach volume in meters cubed per meter for every 10 m transect along NJ and NY for individual lidar surveys collected 2010-2022 and data dictionary Kara S Doran
NFWF_NJ_NY_ShorelineChange Experimental Advanced Airborne Research LIDAR (EAARL) Shoreline change rates in meters per year for every 10 m transect along NJ and NY.
