Summary
High-resolution (0.20 m) digital images collected during an aerial LiDAR survey of the Lower Rio Puerco during April and July 2005. Details on data collection and processing methods are provided in an unpublished report by Spectrum Mapping, LLC (August 2005; see Supplemental Information). The images are Spectral Imagery LiDAR Composite (SILC) in which individual image pixels have been associated with individual xyz values to improve feature discrimination, including bare earth surfaces, as well as quality control processing. Stated horizontal and vertical accuracies are <0.30 m rms error in x, y, and z. This image set has been modified from the original by clipping large areas of no data (white space) from the outer edges to reduce [...]

Stated horizontal and vertical accuracies are <0.30 m rms error in x, y, and z. This image set has been modified from the original by clipping large areas of no data (white space) from the outer edges to reduce file size. These images have the highest resolution and greatest accuracy of the Lower Rio Puerco imagery collection. Geomorphic parameters derived from mapping from these images were presented in the following publications:

Purpose
The 2005 SILC images were used as the base for mapping arroyo features that were used as the reference for determining geomorphic change through time in the Lower Rio Puerco arroyo. Mapped features included locations of: the top of the arroyo wall; bottom of the arroyo wall/edge of arroyo bottom; top of channel bank; channel centerline; arroyo centerline; and shrub canopy cover.
