Lidar point cloud, elevation models, GPS data, imagery, and orthomosaic, collected during UAS operations at Town Neck Beach, Sandwich, MA on December 19th, 2023
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.
