Right size, right place: scale-dependency of managed realignment to mitigate flood hazards in urban estuaries

The data is organized into six main folders: Flood_extent, Intervention_extent, Longitudinal_extent, MHWS_extent, Tidal_prism and R_Code. Flood_extent and Longitudinal_extent folders refer to flood water elevation extent in raster files and longitudinal cross section along the Clyde estuary of this flood water elevation in tabulated form produced from the TUFLOW flood numerical model. On the other hand, Intervention_extent folder contains shapefiles needed to accommodate managed realignments in the TUFLOW model. MHWS_extent folder contains shapefile of mean high-water spring (MHWS) extent in the Clyde estuary. Tidal_prism folder comprises of geomorphic change detection (GCD) results produced using GCD 7 Standalone software. GCD is used to quantify the volume of water between high and low tide (i.e. subtraction of water elevation between high and low tide). R_Code folder contains R language code to produce figure 2-4 used in the paper and to analyse datasets available here. Raster and shapefiles could be opened using standard GIS software such as ArcGIS Pro or QGIS, while tabulated data could be opened using Microsoft Excel. On the other hand, GCD files could be opened using GCD 7 Standalone software available to be downloaded for free from https://gcd.riverscapes.net/Download/ while the R Code could be open using text editor and run in the RStudio available here https://cran.rstudio.com/.
