This island was revisited to evaluate long-term performance post-restoration. The data collected for assessment is stored in one .tif file and three .csv files. The .tif file consists of an ortho mosaic image, captured using a DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone. The .csv files contain detailed gps data, observed vegetation, and sediment core information, including bulk density and percent carbon. The Trimble R12 GNSS System was utilized to capture the GPS data for types of vegetation, sediment cores, ground control points (used for georeferencing drone imagery), and the topography of the island. A total of three sediment cores were extracted by driving a 7 cm diameter polycarbonate tube into the ground. Sediment cores were further analyzed at the lab to determine sediment characteristics. To determine bulk density, the cores were sectioned into 5cm intervals and dried. The dried section was weighed and bulk density was calculated using weight divided by volume. The dried sediment was subsampled to measure percent carbon with a Perkin Elmer 2400 series II CHNS/O elemental analyzer. More information on this site can be found here: https://arcg.is/08Oirb0 The purpose of collecting this data is to evaluate a historical marsh island and assess performance to optimize future site selection and design. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0303869 Preview graphic PNG 0303869 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2025-04-21 publication biological data CARBON CORE - BOTTOM CORE - BULK DENSITY SEDIMENT PROPERTIES SEDIMENTS - TOTAL CARBON SPECIES IDENTIFICATION Vegetation Cover theme NODC DATA TYPES THESAURUS camera CHN Analyzer GPS sediment sampler - corer sediment sieve instrument NODC INSTRUMENT TYPES THESAURUS in situ laboratory analyses theme NODC OBSERVATION TYPES THESAURUS US DOC/NOAA/NOS/NCCOS/Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment dataCentre NODC COLLECTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science dataCentre NODC SUBMITTING INSTITUTION NAMES THESAURUS Chesapeake Bay place NODC SEA AREA NAMES THESAURUS oceanography theme WMO_CategoryCode 2012-09-15 publication DOC/NOAA/NOS/NCCOS > National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, National Ocean Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2026 revision 24 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Greenbelt MD https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords HTTPS GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.
