Summary

Abstract:
Tropical cyclones have significantly altered normal coastal processes and characteristics in the Gulf region through sediment disturbance. The Sediment Analysis Network for Decision Support (SANDS) project is addressing sediment redistribution issues by producing a suite of decision support products, derived from satellite observations from MODIS, Landsat and SeaWiFS instruments, for assessment and monitoring of suspended sediment and sediment deposition in the north central Gulf of Mexico region. These products will support resource management, planning, and decision making activities in the Gulf of Mexico. The project will also facilitate delivery of the resulting products to end users by making them available through a SANDS portal hosted at the Geological Survey of Alabama (GSA) and through NASA’s Global Hydrology Resource Center. The Sediment Analysis Network for Decision Support (SANDS) will analyze GeoTIFF images for sediment re-distrbution after a hurricane on the Gulf coast and then creates a product. This dataset consists of daytime geoTIFF images from Landsat 5 and Landsat 7 provided to the Geological Survey of Alabama for their analysis. Subsetted coordinates are 31-27 North latitude and 90-84.25 West longitude (Gulf of Mexico coastline in Alabama and part of Florida). These are seasonal data for storms from 2001-2008. |
