Level of Effort:
High Resolution Marsh Mapping
The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) and their contractor Whiteout Solutions have released a groundbreaking high-resolution dataset capturing over 12,000 acres of coastal saltmarsh and adjoining upland buffer in the state of Connecticut. The new dataset, available to the public via Whiteout’s web-based geospatial application geoSAP, includes:
- Topobathymetric LiDAR data, capable of capturing elevation points even below the water’s surface.
- Multispectral and RGB imagery detailing the complex structure of marshland vegetation and terrain.
- Landcover classification of the seven most common saltmarsh plant species derived from multiple overlapping datasets to aid in habitat monitoring and planning.
All data layers can be viewed and downloaded through geoSAP.
