These three marsh restoration sites—Jumbile Phase II, J Cove, and Mcallis Point—were revisited to evaluate their long-term performance. The data collected for assessment is stored in four .tif files and two .csv files. The .tif files consist of ortho mosaic images of each site, captured using a DJI Phantom 4 Pro drone. The .csv files contain detailed gps data and sediment core information, including bulk density, grain size, and percent carbon. The Trimble R12 GNSS System was utilized to capture the GPS data for sediment cores, ground control points (used for georeferencing drone imagery), and the topography of marsh mounds. A total of twenty sediment cores were extracted by driving a 7 cm diameter polycarbonate tube into the ground. The cores were sectioned in the field for transport. Sediment cores were further analyzed at the lab to determine sediment characteristics. Bulk density and grain size were determined for every 5 cm interval of the core by measuring the total weight of the wet core then splitting the interval into two equal-weight halves. One half was used for bulk density, while the other was used for grain size. The bulk density half was dried, weighed, and subsampled to measure percent carbon with a Perkin Elmer 2400 series II CHNS/O elemental analyzer. The grain size half was sieved into 4 categories: gravel, macro organic matter (both >0.2mm), sand (0.063-2mm), and silt (<0.063mm). For the top 5 cm of the cores, the remaining half of the bulk density sample was re-weighed after drying and subsampling, then ashed in a muffle furnace to calculate loss on ignition (LOI). More information on these sites can be found here: https://arcg.is/1urP5j The purpose of collecting this data is to evaluate historical marsh mound projects 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:0303740 Preview graphic PNG 0303740 NCEI ACCESSION NUMBER 2025-04-10 publication CORE - BULK DENSITY images ORGANIC MATTER - WEIGHT PERCENT SEDIMENT - GRAIN SIZE SEDIMENTS SEDIMENTS - DRY WEIGHT 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 Coastal Waters of Gulf of America Coastal Waters of Gulf of Mexico Coastal Waters of Texas Gulf of America Gulf of Mexico 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 23 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.
