All Datasets

These data relate to infragravity energy fluxes variability between landward and seaward swales of a cape-related shoal. Observations of water velocity and near-bottom pressure were obtained from upward looking acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) at inner and outer swales of Shoal E, offshore Cape Canaveral, Florida Atlantic coast. Measurements were conducted during Fall 2013, Spring 2014 and Fall 2014. Mean water depths during all deployments at eastern and western swales were ~13 and ~14 m, respectivley. Pressure and velocity data were recorded in bursts of 1200, 2048, 2400, or 3600 data at 2 Hz. Pressure was measured ca. 1 m above the bed, whereas velocities were obtained at one depth, between 3 and 7 m above the bed. This collection also includes wave statistics (significant wave height, peak period, and peak direction), and infragravity energy fluxes.

TDB-15-2: Fan-delta experiment performed in Tulane University Delta Basin. Experiment evolved under constant sea-level rise rate of 0.25 mm/hr, and variable forcings of water and sediment. After run hour 300, water discharge alternated between 0.14 L/s and 0.45 L/s, and sediment discharge alternated between 0.00014 L/s and 0.00045 L/s. Prior to run hour 300, water discharge was 0.17 L/s, and sediment discharge was 0.00017 L/s. Experiment used a strongly cohesive sediment that had a wide grain size distribution with a median diameter of 65 microns. Total experiment run time was 733 hr, variable discharge began after hour 300. Experiment was paused every 1.1 hours for data collection.

After variable flow was initiated, the following data were collected during each 1.1 hr cycle:

-Overhead photo during low flow conditions
-Overhead photo during high flow conditions
-Overhead photo during experiment pause while delta top was dry.
-Topographic scan during high flow conditions.
-Topographic scan during pause/dry conditions.


Data Files:

Folder "TDB_15_2 Original Data" contains overhead raw overhead photographs (.jpg) and scans (point cloud .xyz). Each row of the point cloud contains the following data:

[row col X Y Z R G B];

Folder "TDB_15_2_Results and Processed Data" contains overhead photograph and scan data gridded to a 5mm x 5 mm grid. Gridded data begins at hour 535, after the final scanner physical location was established. RGB color data included in the "Scans_Gridded" folder was collected with the scanner, at the same time as topographic (Z) data.

All length data (X, Y, Z) are in meters. All colors (R, G, B) are in intensities from 1 to 255. Colors in gridded data sets may be non-integers because of the interpolation process. A value of NaN indicates no data in that grid cell.

TDB_15_2_BasinDimensions.png shows the dimensions of the experimental entrance condition, and orients the coordinate system.

TDB_15_2_RunTimeConversions.xlsx shows the conversion between run hours and run cycles.

Excel spreadsheet (.XLSX) containing 30-minute values for shear velocity, shear stress, wind direction, stability parameter, saltation layer height, total saltation flux, saltation detection frequency, and associated uncertainties for most of these values for field deployments at Jericoacoara (Brazil), Rancho Guadalupe (California), and Oceano (California).

This video is a series of overhead images taken of an experiment with constant discharge and sediment supply. Frames are 30 minutes apart, Flow is from left to right. The white material is a lightweight plastic, the brownish material is sand, and the green colors are alfalfa sprouts.

Parker Mill County Park, together with Ann Arbor City's Forest Park, is a 45 acre tract of mostly wooded land along Fleming Creek. The park includes the mouth of the creek, where it joins the Huron River. There is also an historic grist mill built in 1873. The mill is operable and contains original milling machinery, left in the mill when the Parker family ceased operation in 1958.

These videos were presented at the April 2013 SEAD Review and cover a broad range of SEAD functionality. The videos capture SEAD's end-to-end curation lifecycle services; support for active research efforts; linkage between data, people, publications, and projects; analysis of collaboration networks over time; and the data publication process.

County Farm Park is located on the east side of the City of Ann Arbor. It contains an 18-acre mature woodlot with an interesting mixture of upland and floodplain tree species. Oaks, hickories, and cherry occupy they upland part of this wooded knoll, while maple, ash, ironwood, and hornbeam also appear throughout. The remainder of the park was used as agricultural land and has renaturalized with fields, dense hedgerows, and brushy cover. The early successional habitat contains fox, deer, rabbits, woodchucks, and skunks, as well as numerous bird species including Cooper's Hawk and Red-tailed Hawk.

Independence Lake County Park features diverse habitats including wetlands, prairies and oak hickory woods. In the summer months there is swimming, boating and fishing, as well as picnicking, hiking, biking and rollerblading. The park offers a launch site for canoes, kayaks and motorized boats with ten or less horsepower (paddleboats and rowboats are available for rent).
