Images were collected to monitor active bluff erosion in the area. The images are presented here in zipped files grouped by type of collection, nadir and oblique. The images were collected in .jpg format with red, green, blue (RGB) information and include Exif metadata with GPS date, time, and latitude and longitude, and other fields. These files were used in structure-from-motion (SfM) processing to obtain georeferenced 3D data.
