NPS is continuing their partnership with PCCS for Phase 3 of coastal instability research. This grant focuses on data acquisition, formatting, processing, analysis, and interpretation related to sea level rise impact. Activities include converting historical data to standard formats, measuring change in topography and bathymetry, deriving cross-shore transects, and estimating transport rates. The grant also involves field observations, sediment sampling, and report preparation. Deadline for applications is Sep 13, 2013.

Specifically, the cooperator will: The Cooperator will: 1. Data Acquisition and Formatting A. Acquire source data 1) Maj. J.D. Graham [1830s]. 2) Henry L. Marindin / H-sheet [1880s]. 3) USC&GS bathymetric surveys [1930s]. 4) USACE (and other) lidar, PCCS bathymetry [2000s]. B. Convert source data to standard format. 1) Georectify 1833 charts. 2) Convert all horizontal and vertical datums to NAD83(v2011, epoch 2010) (hor.) and NAVD88 (vert.). 3) Digitize numerical data from historical charts and surveys (above). 4) Plot final topography, bathymetry and shorelines for all four time periods. 5) Estimate positional accuracy based on historical benchmarks and contemporary tidal records. 2. Data processing and Analysis 3. Data Interpretation and Verification IV. Report Preparation |
