Summary

Hurricane Sandy, which made landfall on October 29, 2012, near Brigantine, New Jersey, had a significant impact on coastal New Jersey, including the large areas of emergent wetlands at Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) and the Barnegat Bay region. In response to Hurricane Sandy, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has undertaken several projects to assess the impacts of the storm and provide data and scientific analysis to support recovery and restoration efforts. As part of these efforts, the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program (CMGP) sponsored Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) Applications Project in collaboration with the USGS National Geospatial Program (NGP), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration [...]

Purpose

Lidar offers high spatial resolution (i.e. < 1 meter point spacing) and precise elevation data that can be used to efficiently map the land/water interface. Pre- and post-Hurricane Sandy lidar data were processed and analyzed to map coastal wetland changes over the extent of Forsythe NWR and Barnegat Bay. The resulting data can be used to visualize and quantify changes in wetland morphology such as erosion, wetland inundation, internal ponding and marsh migration across the region. The analyses are based on airborne lidar acquired in 2010 and 2014.
