This dataset supports the thesis entitled "The Morphology of Coastal and Fluvial Flood-Driven Sediment Deposits in Natural and Built Environments"
AWARDED BY: Univeristy of Southampton
DATE OF AWARD: 2023

DESCRIPTION OF THE DATA
This dataset contains:
Two XLSX files.
1) Coastal Data - Physical attributes (length, perimeter, area) of washover deposits created during hurricanes in the US (extracted from post-storm imagery), and from a simple numerical model. First sheet includes real-world natural deposits, 
second sheet real-world built deposits, and third sheet the results from the numerical model. 
2) Fluvial Data - Physical attributes (length, perimeter, area, and volume) of crevasse splay deposits formed using the CAESAR-Lisflood hydrodynamic model.
Sheet 1: Natural_SPlays (different discharges and grainsizes)
Sheet 2: Natural_Roughness (different grainsizes and floodplain roughness)
Sheet 3: Natural_Silt (different silt grainsizes and discharges)
Sheet 4: Built_Splays (different discharges, grainszies, and Built Fractions)
Sheet 5: Built_Roughness (different grainsizes, floodplain roughness, and Built Fractions)
