Remote Sensing of Back-Bay Establishment Following Sediment Nourishment

  • May 19, 2022

Project Information

This project will refine remote sensing techniques to monitor morphological and ecological trends of beneficial use of dredged material (BUDM) sites over time. Providing USACE with reliable methods to monitor BUDM sites will provide the confidence needed to initiate more BUDM projects, which in turn will help USACE to reach their goal of using 70% of dredged material beneficially by 2030.

Figure 1. workflow of computational pipeline for generation of monthly coastal indices (MCIs) and management reports This figure has the Jupiterhub logo at the top left. Column a shos a header titled "User inputs". Below that is 3 boxes, labeled "POI", "AOI", and "Data output options". Column b has a bubble titled "NASA DAAC/USGS Earth Explorer/Google EE API" with 3 boxes below, labeled "Imagery Search", "Imagery Preprocessing", and "Processed imagery download". Column c shows a bubble labeled "Coud server, below which are 4 boxes, labled "Index extraction", "Error modeling", "Management report (Q2)", and "Export data". Arrows connect POI and AOI to Imagery search. An arrow connects Processed imagery download to Index extraction. An arrow connects Data output options to Export data. Two arrows connect Export data and point down to 2 graphics, a series of overlapping squares, labled "MCI gridded time series (netCDF)" and a yellow rectangle labeled "Report data (.csv and geotiff)".
