Summary

This data release presents aerial imagery and structure-from-motion (SfM) data products from uncrewed aerial system (UAS) surveys conducted on the ocean beaches adjacent to the Columbia River Mouth at the Oregon-Washington border. The surveys cover approximately 3 kilometers of Benson Beach at Cape Disappointment State Park north of the Columbia River mouth, in Washington, and 3 kilometers of the beach at Fort Stevens State Park south of the river mouth, in Oregon. The surveys were conducted using a Department of Interior-owned quadcopter fitted with a digital camera featuring a global shutter. The UAS was flown on pre-programmed autonomous flight lines which were spaced to provide sufficient overlap between images from adjacent [...]

Purpose

These data were obtained to evaluate changes in shoreline position and coastal morphology. These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. These data can be used with geographic information systems or other software to identify topographic features on the sub-aerially exposed portions of the beaches surveyed.
