Coastal Changes and Impacts CoNED Wetlands in New Jersey

Delineation of Water Bodies In Emergent Wetlands

The Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) Applications Project team has developed new applications for pre- and post-Hurricane Sandy regional light detection and ranging (lidar) datasets for mapping the spatial extent of coastal wetlands. These new methods were developed to derive detailed land/water polygons for an area in coastal New Jersey, which is dominated by a complex configuration of...
