The Beard’s Creek drawdown occurred May 7, 2018, which removed stop logs from the Route 108 dam in Durham, NH to drop the impoundment’s water level by 2 ft. This UAS sfm model made from 250 ft AGL imagery shows the initial condition of the exposed sediments soon after on May 30, 2018. Thanks to Dr. Kevin Gardner for advising this work at University of New Hampshire. Thanks to Scott Greenwood, Sonnet Agran-St. Pierre, & Keelin Berger for assisting fieldwork & processing. This model used resources from an NSF EPSCoR funded project “RII Track-2 FEC: Strengthening the scientific basis for decision-making about dams: Multi-scale, coupled-systems research on ecological, social, and economic trade-offs”.
