Infrastructure, such as roads, airports, water and energy transmission and distribution facilities, sewage treatment plants, and many other facilities, is vital to the sustainability and vitality of any populated area. Rehabilitation of existing and development of new infrastructure requires three natural resources: natural aggregate (stone, sand, and gravel), water, and energy http://rockyweb.cr.usgs.gov/frontrange/overview.htm.

The principal goals of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Front Range Infrastructure Resources Project (FRIRP) were to develop information, define tools, and demonstrate ways to: (1) implement a multidisciplinary evaluation of the distribution and quality of a region's infrastructure resources, (2) identify issues that may affect availability of resources, and (3) work with cooperators to provide decision makers with tools to evaluate alternatives to enhance decision-making. Geographic integration of data (geospatial databases) can provide an interactive tool to facilitate decision-making by stakeholders http://rockyweb.cr.usgs.gov/frontrange/overview.htm.

Raw and comparative topographic datasets collected at Jacob Riis Park and Fort Tilden (Queens, NY 11694) between the spring of 2017 and spring 2022. Datasets are broken down into two categories: 1) the collected survey data which includes field data forms, survey photos, .job, .csv, and .shp files. 2) annual comparisons between spring surveys, ie: spring 2017 to spring 2018 etc. The comparative datasets include survey DEMs, difference DEMs, pivot tables, dune and shoreline positions, dune and shoreline change vectors generated through Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS), and additional map items used in the creation of the finished products.

In northern Fennoscandia, semi-alluvial boulder-bed channels with coarse glacial legacy sediment are abundant and due to widespread anthropogenic manipulation during timber-floating, unimpacted reference reaches are rare. The landscape context of these semi-alluvial rapids— with numerous mainstem lakes that buffer high flows and sediment connectivity in addition to low sediment yield— contribute to low amounts of fine sediment and incompetent flows to transport boulders. To determine the morphodynamics of semi-alluvial rapids and potential self-organization of sediment with multiple high flows, a flume experiment was designed and carried out to mimic conditions in semi-alluvial rapids in northern Fennoscandia. Two slope setups (2% and 5%) were used to model a range of flows (Q1, Q2, Q10 & Q50) in a 8 x 1.1 m flume with a sediment distribution analogous to field conditions; bed topography was measured using structure-from-motion photogrammetry (SfM) after each flow to obtain digital elevation models (DEMs). Ground-based LiDAR was used to obtain control points needed to create the SfM-based DEMs. The DEMs have a resolution of 5 x 5 mm; separate DEMs are shown for initial conditions at each slope and after each flow. Exported sediment after the 2% slope flows was replaced into the flume and the bed was mixed to create similar initial plane bed conditions before the 5% slope flows as with the 2% slope setup. Shapefiles of digitized grains > D84 are also included. These were created based on the initial conditions for each slope separately. Analyses of the DEMs were done by creating DEMs-of-difference (DODs) by subtracting DEMs from one another to obtain elevation changes. These elevation changes were analyzed for the entire flume an in relation to >D84 grains. Results of these analyses have implications for restoration of gravel spawning beds in northern Fennoscandia and highlight the importance of large grains in understanding channel morphodynamics.

A mobile-bed physical model of the semi-alluvial prototype streams in northern Sweden was setup in an 8-m long, 1.1-m wide fixed-bed flume at the Colorado State University Engineering Research Center in Fort Collins, Colorado, USA. Using a geometric (yr and zr) scaling factor of 8, the initial sediment distribution was scaled-down to be analogous to that in the semi-alluvial prototype streams; because the D10 was 4 mm and Dmin was 0.14 mm, all sizes were sand-sized or above so there were no issues with cohesiveness. No sediment feed was provided from upstream, creating clear water conditions, and this is consistent with the prototype field conditions with very low levels of suspended sediment or annual sediment flux and little sediment input from the hillslopes or upstream reaches. Two flume setups were used with initial bed slopes of 0.02 and 0.05 m/m, respectively. Before the flows were run, the grain size distribution was thoroughly mixed in the flume, and checks were made to ensure equal sediment depth and the desired slope throughout the flume length. For each slope, four runs were conducted with flows analogous to the summer high (Q1), the 2-year (Q2), 10-year (Q10), and 50-year (Q50) flows in the prototype streams. Each flow was run for 60 minutes, which surpassed the time necessary until equilibrium conditions were met, as defined by minimal to no visible sediment transport or transport out of the reach. As no boulder (>D84) movement was detected (other than slight rotation) during any flow, equilibrium conditions were only based on transport of the fine sediment fraction. After each flow, the bed topography and channel geometry were measured (described below) before running the next higher flow.

Structure-from-motion photogrammetry (SfM) was used to create digital elevation models (DEMs) of bed topography. SfM-created DEMs were constructed before all runs at each slope setup and after each run, with progressively higher flows. For each flume setup with different slopes, a terrestrial LiDAR scan (TLS) was used to determine a coordinate system and be able to georeference the SfM scans, based on targets affixed to the flume walls. The TLS scans provided exact xyz coordinates of the targets, which were used to georeference the SfM-based DEMs. A Canon EOS Rebel T3i DSLR camera with a fixed, non-zoom lens (Canon EF-S 24 mm prime lens), which minimizes edge distortion of photos, was mounted to a movable cart on rails ~30 cm above the flume bed. Photos were taken ~20 cm apart looking upstream and downstream at an oblique 45° angle. The images were processed using AgiSoft PhotoScan Professional to obtain topographical point clouds.

The topographical point clouds were imported into ArcMap 10.5.1 and rasters were created with a grid size of 5 mm to create digital elevation models (DEMs) of the topography for the initial conditions at each slope setup and after each flow, with a precision of 2 mm. In areas with missing data, the neighboring points were iteratively averaged to interpolate elevations for pixels. The flume study area was clipped to 7.0 m and 6.3 m in length for the 2% and 5% slope setups, respectively, to remove the upstream turbulent section containing much coarser sediment and a headcutting section at the downstream portion of the flume. In order to analyze erosion and deposition of sediment in relation to large grains, grains >D84 were identified and digitized using ArcMap 10.5.1.
