This data set contains vector point information. The original data set was collected through visual field observation by Jennke Visser (University of Louisiana-Lafayette). The observations were made while flying over the study area in a helicopter. Flight was along north/south transects spaced 2000 meters apart from the Texas / Louisiana State line to Corpus Christie Bay. Vegetative data was obtained at pre-determined stations spaced at 1500 meters along each transect. The stations were located using a Global Positioning System (GPS) and a computer running ArcGIS. This information was recorded manually onto field tally sheets and later this information was entered into a Microsoft Excel database using Capturx software...

Imagery acquired with unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and coupled with structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetry can produce high-resolution topographic and visual reflectance datasets that rival or exceed lidar and orthoimagery. These new techniques are particularly useful for data collection of coastal systems, which requires high temporal and spatial resolution datasets. The U.S. Geological Survey worked in collaboration with members of the Marine Biological Laboratory and Woods Hole Analytics at Black Beach, in Falmouth, Massachusetts to explore scientific research demands on UAS technology for topographic and habitat mapping applications. This project explored the application of consumer-grade UAS platforms...

Atlantic coast piping plover (Charadrius melodus) nest sites are typically found on low-lying beach and dune systems, which respond rapidly to coastal processes like sediment overwash, inlet formation, and island migration that are sensitive to climate-related changes in storminess and the rate of sea-level rise. Data were obtained to understand piping plover habitat distribution and use along their Atlantic Coast breeding range. A smartphone application called iPlover was developed to collect standardized data on habitat characteristics at piping plover nest locations. The application capitalized on a network of trained monitors that observe piping plovers throughout their U.S. Atlantic coast breeding range as...

This data set contains vector point information. The original data set was collected through Texas A&M University-Kingsville a helicopter survey was flown October 2-3rd of 2011 by Dr. Jenneke Visser (University of Louisiana at Lafayette) and Michael Mitchell. Data from this survey was used to produce this point file. Each feature includes the vegetation type at the point as well as the class used when classifying. Each feature is labeled either reference or accuracy assessment based on what it was used for during analysis. Flight was along north/south transects spaced 2000 meters apart from the Corpus Christi Bay to the Sabine River. Vegetative data was obtained at pre-determined stations spaced at 1500 meters along...
