Lidar point cloud, elevation models, GPS data, imagery, and orthomosaics from multispectral and true-color aerial imagery data, collected during UAS operations at Marsh Island, New Bedford, MA on August 21st, 2024

Small Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (sUAS) were used to collect aerial remote sensing data over Marsh Island, a salt marsh restoration site along New Bedford Harbor, Massachusetts. Remediation of the site will involve direct hydrological and geochemical monitoring of the system alongside the UAS remote sensing data. On August 21st, 2024, USGS personnel collected natural (RGB) color images, multispectral images, thermal images, lidar, GPS check points, and ground control points. These data were processed to produce a high resolution lidar point cloud (LPC), digital elevation models (surface and terrain), and natural-color, multispectral reflectance, and thermal image orthomosaics. Data collection is related to USGS Field Activity 2024-004-FA and this release only provides the UAS portion.
