Description:

Abstract:

Estuary geomorphic units delineated at a scale of 1:1500 using a combination of (a) 30 August 2012 0.15 meter resolution NPS Elwha PlaneCam aerial imagery; and (b) elevation-colored and hillshaded digital elevation models from USGS backpack/jetski topobathy surveys (28 August 2012) for areas < MHHW and aerial lidar surveys (17 October 2012) for elevations > MHHW.

Purpose:

Data were collected/produced to monitor and assess changes to coastal habitats during dam removal on the Elwha River, Clallam County, WA, USA.

Process_Description:

identify project area and create clip extent for aerial imagery and elevation data

Process_Date: 20150330

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Delineate geomorphic units from aerial imagery and elevation data using combination of three layers for interpretation: (1) aerial imagery to map bars, beaches, and aquatic habitat, (2) elevation-colored DEMs to identify subtidal, intertidal, and supratidal regions, (3) hillshaded DEMs to assist in mapping feature boundaries.

Process_Date: 20150930

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Revise polygon boundaries for consistency with vegetation units, revise map units to produce fewer more generalized categories, calculate area values
