Multi-temporal co-registered digital surface model (DSM) and orthomosaic of a thermo-erosional gully on the central Seward Peninsula in Northwestern Alaska 2023

DOI

The data were derived from uncrewed aerial vehicle images (UAV, DJI Phantom Pro P4 Multispectral, with DJI RTK base station for positioning). Our data were acquired at a thermo-erosional gully site (CSP-F) on the central Seward Peninsula in Northwestern Alaska. The gully CSP-F is connected to a thermokarst pond basin, which drained around 20 years ago. We visited the site on 09.09.2023 for UAV acquisition. The DSM and orthomosaic were derived from the densely overlapping visible-spectrum UAV imagery using photogrammetric software (Agisoft metashape) for structure-from-motion (SfM) image processing. They were then finely co-registered using AROSICS (Scheffler et al. 2017) and xDEM (xDEM contributors 2024). The data provided here was part of a several year revisit campaign to monitor rapid permafrost degradation and related thaw processes.
