Field Activity 2012-623-FA

Identifier 2012-623-FA
Alternate names 20120407_Elwha_River
Purpose To collect aerial imagery document Elwha River response to Elwha dam removals at a temporal and spatial scale sufficient to inform theoretical and physical process models and improve understanding of short- and long-term fluvial and coastal responses to large perturbations in base level and sediment inputs
Location Elwha River
Summary collected 794 primarily near-nadir images.
Info derived Per flight: orthoimagery and elevation models (approximately 10cm resolution), recording sediment, wood, water, and vegetation. Across flights: erosion and deposition volumes, changes in grain size, changes in wood location, distribution, abundance, changes in channel form and location, changes in vegetation.
