Summary

This data release publishes datasets within and surrounding the Piney Branch watershed located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan suburb of Vienna, Virginia. This dataset was utilized in studies that investigated the accuracy and application of geospatial modeling techniques, structure-from-motion (SfM) photogrammetric methods, and digital elevation model (DEM) differencing to assess and quantify geomorphic and anthropogenic landform change. The United States Geological Survey’s (USGS) three-dimensional digital elevation program (3DEP) light detection and ranging (LiDAR) digital terrain models (DTMs) were used together with and as a means for comparison to DTMs created from historical aerial imagery. The creation and usage of both [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this data release is to publish the geographic datasets used to investigate and quantify temporal geomorphic and anthropogenic landform changes within and surrounding the Piney Branch watershed, in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan suburb of Vienna, Virginia. The availability of such data and the methods used to create the datasets provides critical information for land management, hazard identification, and the management of challenges related to urbanization.
