Sawyer Mill Dam Removal Z Error Standard Deviations and Minimum Level of Detection Thresholds Calculations for the Reservoir Response Manuscript DoDs (2019 & 2020)

These are the calculations for determining the minimum level of detection thresholds used to mask areas of uncertain topographic change in the Evans et al. Sawyer Mill dam removal reservoir response manuscript. These thresholds were applied to the DoDs representing the various study areas throughout the Bellamy River Reservoir (Dover, NH, USA) to evaluate topographic changes associated with dam removal. The method used for calculating the minimum level of detection threshold (minLoD) was adapted from Marteau et al. (2017). Please see the manuscript and the spreadsheet for additional information. These materials were made using resources from an NSF EPSCoR funded project “RII Track-2 FEC: Strengthening the scientific basis for decision-making about dams: Multi-scale, coupled-systems research on ecological, social, and economic trade-offs” (a.k.a. "Future of Dams"). Support for this project is provided by the National Science Foundation’s Research Infrastructure Improvement NSF #IIA-1539071.
