title: Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune CLARIS-measured beach topography

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.Coastal Lidar And Radar Imaging System collects X-band radar and terrestrial lidar from a mobile platform. Sensor position, orientation and elevation are corrected from simultaneous observations of platform motion and position via a POS LV (Applanix). Topography data are referenced to NAVD88 meters in the vertical and horizontal position, were originally collected in NAD83 North Carolina State plane meters, and have been transformed to geographic coordinates. Dense point cloud data from terrestrial lidar have been gridded to grid node spacing of 2m. Data span from the primary dune to the lower foreshore down the length of Onslow Beach (excluding northern ordinance exclusion zone).

The goal of this work was to provide data that are useful in determining the carbon sequestration value of the sites in question and to contribute to a broader understanding of the geographical variability of carbon storage rates in both natural and created marshes. The sites chosen for this study were identified in collaboration with partners from the Choctawhatchee Basin Alliance, Hurlburt Field (part of Eglin Air Force Base), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

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.This data package contains description of video of boats in the ICW detailing the type of boat, type of hull, direction, and hull length.

Millions of x, y, and z points from Onslow Beach were processed using the MARS software package to define a bare-earth model. The beach was broken into a series of zones, each zone was processed separately, and this grid covers all of the zones. Data were collected during the same week and around the low tide (two hours before and after low tide).

We used point counts to census birds following a methodology from Ralph et al. (1995) by Kirkpatrick et al. (2006). Surveys were conducted between April 10 and July 10 starting at sunrise and going no later than 10 a.m. (or 4 hours after dawn), on days without precipitation and with wind speeds less than 12 km/h (Ralph et al., 1995; Rosenstock et al., 2002). We recorded temperature (°C), wind speed (km/h), cloud cover, and background noise level. After initially arriving at a point, we waited for a 1-minute silent period, and then recorded any birds seen or heard for an 8-minute period (Farnsworth et 14-8 al., 2002; Rosenstock et al., 2002). We estimated the distance to each bird, using a Rangefinder whenever necessary (Buckland, 2001; Rosenstock et al., 2002).

The mean change is calculated by taking the mean of the differences between the future projected average (e.g., 2046-2065) and the climate model baseline (e.g., 1979-1999). The differences were calculated for each downscaled GCM and then averaged across all models to obtain the mean change. This mean of the differences was calculated for each month, each future time period, and each variable.

LANDIS-II is a model with several extensions capable of simulating different landscape and ecosystem-level dynamics.

These were converted from categories of intensity 2,3,4 to simple binary 'change' and 'no-change'. These files were then converted to the following: 84-90 loss: 0,1 84-98 loss: 0,10 84-05 loss: 0,100 84-07 loss: 0,1000 84-09 loss: 0,10000 Files then simply added together to create change time series. This results in a range of possible values from 11111 (loss detected during each time period) to 00001 (change in the 1984-1990 period, but not observed as green loss by 1998, 05,07 or 09 - probably a temporary impact that 'revegetated').
