Abstract:Sandy beach and foredune environments are common throughout the Great Lakes region and world. Coastal landscapes are dynamic and vulnerable due to water level fluctuations, high-energy storm events, and human disturbance. Standard methods for measuring geomorphic transformations over time include small-unoccupied aircraft systems (sUAS), but it is costly and spatiotemporally limited. To document the utility of the Apple LiDAR for coastal mapping, we quantitatively evaluated the accuracy of Apple’s light imagin… Show more
