Hydrodynamics at the interface between expanding and eroding mangrove forests in the Mekong delta, Vietnam

This dataset contains acceleration data measured from low-cost and open-source bottom-mounted floats called ‘Mini Buoys’, to identify hydrological tipping points between expanding and eroding mangrove edges in the Mekong delta, Vietnam.<b>Data collection method</b>: Data to assess the hydrological tipping point between expanding and eroding mangrove edges was gathered at Soc Trang (09°25′11″N, 106°10′48″E), Ca Mau (08°38′00″N, 104°42′43″E), and Kien Giang (09°50′01″N, 104°53′25″E) sites along the Mekong delta, Vietnam. B4+ Mini Buoys were deployed along seaward mangrove edges where there was a transition from expansion to erosion. Each logger sampled y-axis acceleration at 1 Hz. Coordinates showing the location of each Mini Buoy deployment are expressed in WGS84 standard. Unfortunately, some Mini Buoys were lost during deployment.Data collected between: 25/06/2022 and 31/08/2022No processing was done to acceleration data.Related blogs/publications: https://livingdeltas.org/blog/mini-buoys-in-the-indian-sundarban-a-story-of-challenges-collaboration-and-commitmenthttps://livingdeltas.org/publications/monitoring-tidal-hydrology-in-coastal-wetlands-with-the-mini-buoy-applications-for-mangrove-restorationhttps://livingdeltas.org/publications/the-mini-buoy-a-novel-hydrodynamics-sensor-for-long-term-deployments-in-coastal-wetlandshttps://livingdeltas.org/blog/inexpensive-amp-open-source-sensors-could-dramatically-improve-the-success-of-mangrove-plantation-schemeshttps://livingdeltas.org/resources/hydrodynamics-survey-along-embankments-of-kumirmari-island-gosaba-indian-sundarban
