Creation of Improved Accuracy LiDAR-Based Digital Elevation Models for the St. Jones River and Blackbird Creek Watersheds
Project Contact(s)
In tidal wetlands, the high density of vegetation cover inhibits penetration of LiDAR pulses through the vegetation to the ground surface and low vegetation heights inhibit classification of ground point elevations. This project identities and corrects for biases found in the St. Jones and Blackbird Reserves using GPS RTK surveying and statistical analysis.

Coastal Inundation Maps for Delaware
Project Contact(s)
DGS, in cooperation with DNREC Delaware Coastal Programs, developed a series of coastal inundation maps corresponding to water surfaces from the mean higher-high water (MHHW) level to 7 feet above MHHW, in 1-foot increments.

Determination of Future Sea-Level Rise Planning Scenarios for Delaware
The Delaware Geological Survey will review recent scientific literature and assessments of sea-level change in Delaware and identify appropriate scenarios to use for planning purposes throughout the state. This project will also develop new inundation maps along Delaware's coast that correspond to the identified scenarios.

Strategic Plan for Geologic Mapping of Delaware 2016-2030
Project Contact(s)
Geologic maps at the DGS are created as primary deliverables of a project and as derivatives of other projects. Primary deliverables are mainly those that are the result of outside funding sources such as the AASG-USGS cooperative StateMap. Derivative maps are those that have primary data collected for reasons other than geologic mapping can be used to create geologic maps or that geologic maps are derivative products of a project rather than the primary goal of a project.
