| Alternate names | Cape Lookout National Seashore - North Core Banks Field Work | ||||||||
| Purpose | To collect ground truth data on North Core Banks that validate landcover types, erosion and accretion in newly formed ponds from Hurricane Dorian (2019) and subsequent recovery. Install semi-permanent ground control points (large 3x3 ft painted black and white targets). | ||||||||
| Location | Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Core Banks, Cateret County, North Carolina | ||||||||
| Summary | Set up and occupied with the base five semi-permanent ground control targets, got sand samples transects across 3 study sites, used kayaks to grab a few sediment samples from the ponds, performed drone (M600 and Anafi) and bathymetry (YellowCat) surveys on three ponds, and characterized conditions and vegetation at more than a hundred sites with RTK, phone camera, and visual identification. We added several RTK ground point transects at the ends of the North Core Banks. | ||||||||
| Info derived | Grain size, bathymetry, topography, vegetation identification. | ||||||||
| Comments | Funding project name is Project name is "Hurricane Florence Changes at Cape Lookout". | ||||||||
