Vegetation thresholds for sediment transport at Cubit's Gap from 2018-03-07 to 2019-08-21

This dataset was collected to investigate the interaction of vegetation, water, and sediment in marshes with the goal of better understanding accretion on marshes. The study area was located in Cubit's Gap on the Mississippi River Delta, near the mouth of the river. The field site consisted of a marsh area that is vegetated during all seasons and a mud flat area that is vegetated only during the spring and summer months. This dataset consists of water samples, sediment samples, flow measurements, accretion measurements, elevation surveys and vegetation surveys. There are also numerous photographs including drone photographs from a dye experiment, and time lapse photos of the marsh. Data was collected from spring of 2018 through autumn of 2019.
