title: Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Geospatial Marsh Model: Trap's Bay Output

description: Critical military training and testing on lands along the nation’s coastal and estuarine shorelines are increasingly placed at risk because of encroachment pressures in surrounding areas, impairments due to other anthropogenic disturbances, and changes in climate and sea level. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) intends to enhance and sustain its training and testing assets and also optimize its stewardship of natural resources through the development and application of an ecosystem-based management approach on DoD installations. To accomplish this goal, particularly for installations in estuarine/coastal environments, the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) launched the Defense Coastal/Estuarine Research Program (DCERP) as a 10-year effort at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune (MCBCL) in North Carolina. The results of the second 5 years of the program (DCERP2) are presented in the DCERP2 Final Report.There were four overarching objectives of DCERP2. The first objective was to understand the effects of climate change impacts, including warming temperatures, variability in the hydrological cycle, storm events, and sea level rise on the coastal ecosystems at MCBCL from observations and measurements made over the 10-year program. The second objective was to understand the carbon cycle of the coastal and terrestrial ecosystems at MCBCL through a highly integrated sampling program. The third objective was to develop models, tools, and indicators to evaluate current and projected future ecosystem state changes and translate scientific findings into actionable information for installation managers. The last objective was to recommend adaptive management strategies to sustain ecosystem natural resources within the context of an active military installation.This data package contains geospatial data of habitat and elevation as ascii and tabular output (.xlxs) for each site under each SLR scenario for the years 2013 (initial), 2035, 2065, & 2100.

description: Critical military training and testing on lands along the nation’s coastal and estuarine shorelines are increasingly placed at risk because of development pressures in surrounding areas, impairments due to other anthropogenic disturbances, and increasing requirements for compliance with environmental regulations. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) intends to enhance and sustain its training and testing assets and to optimize its stewardship of natural resources through the development and application of an ecosystem-based management approach on DoD installations. To accomplish this goal, particularly for installations in estuarine/coastal environments, the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) launched the Defense Coastal/Estuarine Research Program (DCERP) as a minimum 10-year effort at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune (MCBCL) in North Carolina. The results of the first six years of the program (DCERP1) are presented here.The overarching objectives of DCERP are to: (1) understand the effects of military training activities, infrastructure development, and other coastal military installations; (2) develop models, tools, and indicators to evaluate ecosystem health; and (3) recommend adaptive management strategies to sustain ecosystem natural resources within the context of an active military installation.Sidescan data are from the shallow (-2 to -11.5m, NAVD88) nearshore region of Onslow Beach. Data were collected in 2007 using a high-resolution (234 kHz) Sea Swath Plus Interferometric swath bathymetric profiler with co-registered side-scan sonar. Line spacing ranged from 25-75m to allow for nearly complete coverage of the seafloor, minimizing data holidays. The position of each data point was related to NAD83 using RTK-GPS. Vessel heave, pitch, and roll were corrected in real-time using an IXSEA Octans motion sensor. Amplitude data were extracted as backscatter values from the bathymetric files and processed using Chesapeake Technology SonarWiz MAP5. Geotif images were generated using SonarWiz MAP5. In order to keep the file size manageable, two geotiff images were created for the data.

It was used to compare chemical characteristics and processes across the three locations to determine the factors driving the response of salt marsh sustainability to fertilization.

Close examination of existing bathymetry by DCERP PI's revealed that either substantial changes have occurred since previous surveys, or there were significant quality control problems during previous data collection with minimal supporting metadata. Incorporation of these pre-existing data into a bathymetry DEM and subsequent merging with the NOAA GEODAS database further revealed sparse data coverage in critical regions of research for several DCERP modules. In order to address the need for accurate bathymetric data, interferometric swath bathymetry was used to produce a high resolution (5-m) bathymetric map of the New River Estuary. The resulting data will provide a vital bathymetric baseline for various monitoring and modeling DCERP modules. In addition, these data will be useful to the Base in helping them to identify areas where boats may run aground during training activities, thus preventing the loss of vessel stranding times and/or hull damage, particularly in egress and ingress of Courthouse Bay.

Salt marsh sediment microbial communities and vegetation may affect N, P, and C in creek water overlying the marsh during high tide; these concentration changes would subsequently alter the flux of N, P, and C in the tidal creek channel during low tide. The objective of this research was to measure the rate of concentration change in N, P, and C in a volume of water isolated on the marsh during high tide. This rate of concentration change can be extrapolated across a salt marsh surface to estimate the mass export of N, P, and C back to the tidal creek channel at low tide. Analysis of these data is provided in the CW-5 chapter of the DCERP2 Final Research Report.

CO2 fluxes were calculated using measured pCO2, and pCO2 estimated based on a linear interpolation of measured pCO2 (between start and end of each deployment). The intention of this dataset is to asses whether such a linear interpolation of pCO2 introduces a significant error to CO2 flux calculations.

Data were collected in 2007 using a high-resolution (234 kHz) Sea Swath Plus Interferometric swath bathymetric profiler with co-registered side-scan sonar. Line spacing ranged from 50-150m to allow for nearly complete coverage of the seafloor, minimizing data holidays. The position of each data point was related to NAD83 using RTK-GPS. Vessel heave, pitch, and roll were corrected in real-time using an IXSEA Octans motion sensor. Seafloor depths were corrected to NAVD88 using Hypack software. Data were initially processed and gridded using proprietary software at a 2-m resolution, and were despiked, filtered, and smoothed. For purposes of nearshore-wide bathymetric mapping, the data were later gridded using Fledermaus IVS 7.0.1 Pro using a weighted moving average at a resolution of 5m7wt. Data span the nearshore off of Onslow Beach as well as the portions of New River Inlet.

Vegetation was sampled because the amount and types of vegetation affects sediment dynamics locally and the behavior of many organisms including ground nesting shorebirds, both of which were of interest to CB-5 in DCERP2.
