Description Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) were used to collect aerial remote sensing data over Town Neck Beach, Massachusetts. The area is a highly trafficked public beach with a parking lot, boardwalk, and renourishment and dune stabilization plan. On December 19th, 2023, after a recent placement of dredged sand and dune grass plug plantings, USGS personnel collected natural (RGB) color images, lidar, check points, and ground control points. These data were processed to produce a high-resolution lidar point cloud, digital elevation models, and a natural-color orthomosaic. Data are related to USGS Field activity 2023-028-FA and support observations of coastal change and lidar data testing. [More]
