File size: 721.1 MB -------------------------- METHODOLOGICAL INFORMATION -------------------------- 1. Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: These experiments were conducted in St. Anthony Fall Laboratory (SAFL) Delta Basin. This is a fixed based basin (5 m wide x 5 m long x 0.5 m deep) that is fed sediment and water from an input source to create model deltas. Sea-level adjustment via relative sea-level rise is available in this facility and was used for these experiments along with a floating wave generator. This facility is able to collect data via an overhead DSLR camera (which made the time-lapse videos themselves) and a digital line scan camera capable of making digital elevation models with sub-millimeter accuracy. Delta experiments ran in Delta Basin-2 (DB2) with fluvial and wave forcing. Deltas experienced 2.5 mm/hr or 5 mm/hr of relative sea-level rise and a constant wave climate. Water and sediment discharge rates were varied between experiments to control the delta-top slope. ShallowFast: water discharge 0.1 Liter/second (L/s), sediment discharge 0.001 L/s, slope 0.008, relative sea level rise 5 mm/hr. ShallowSlow: water discharge 0.1 Liter/second (L/s), sediment discharge 0.001 L/s, slope 0.009, relative sea level rise 2.5 mm/hr. SteepFast: water discharge 0.1 Liter/second (L/s), sediment discharge 0.002 L/s, slope 0.017, relative sea level rise 5 mm/hr. SteepSlow: water discharge 0.05 Liter/second (L/s), sediment discharge 0.001 L/s, slope 0.014, relative sea level rise 2.5 mm/hr. Images were taken with an RGB camera overhead of the basin where the images took place. Scans were taken with a laser scanner. The videos were made by stitching together thousands of pictures taken from a fixed camera above the basin. The camera is oriented so that each pixel is roughly 1mm by 1mm. The scans generate a elevation model where each pixel is approximately 1mm by 1mm. 2. Methods for processing the data: Images were orthorectified by removing lense distortion and remapping so that one pixel is approximately 1x1 millimeter of the experiment. Scans were converted from raw format to TIFF. 3. Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret the data: Image / Video viewer for jpg and wmv files. A GIS program should be used to open the TIF files. 4. Standards and calibration information, if appropriate: N/A 5. Environmental/experimental conditions: N/A 6. Describe any quality-assurance procedures performed on the data: N/A 7.
