LEAN-corrected San Francisco Bay Digital Elevation Model, 2018 Lidar-derived digital elevation models often contain a vertical bias due to vegetation. In areas with tidal influence the amount of bias can be ecologically significant, for example, by decreasing the expected inundation frequency. We generated a corrected digital elevation mode (DEM) for tidal marsh areas around San Francisco Bay using the Lidar Elevation Adjustment with NDVI (LEAN) technique (Buffington et al. 2016). Survey-grade GPS survey data (6614 points), NAIP-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, and original 1 m lidar DEM from 2010 were used to generate a model of predicted bias across tidal marsh areas. The predicted bias was then subtracted from the original lidar DEM and merged with the NOAA...

In areas with tidal influence the amount of bias can be ecologically significant, for example, by decreasing the expected inundation frequency. We generated a corrected digital elevation model (DEM) for wetlands throughout Collier county using a modification of the Lidar Elevation Adjustment with NDVI (LEAN) technique (Buffington et al. 2016). GPS survey data (15,223 points), NAIP-derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (2010), a 10 m lidar DEM from 2007, and a 10 m canopy surface model were used to generate a model of predicted bias across marsh, mangrove, and cypress habitats. The predicted bias was then subtracted from...

Due to the lack of LiDAR data and insufficient accuracy of space-borne synthetic aperture radar-derived elevation models, we leveraged data from differential leveling surveys to generate a digital elevation model (DEM) for the mangrove forest of Pohnpei. We created a general slope model with a shore-normal transect of elevation and a general additive model (GAM) spine. To create a continuous DEM, the GAM spline was then stretched across a grid representing the width of mangrove, created using digitized boundaries of the seaward and interior mangrove edge. This simplified approach assumes that...
