Elevation and Conductivity Statistics for Coastal Environments, MISP Transect

Elevation and apparent conductivity ranges measured for coastal environmental units mapped along the Mustang Island State Park transect. Elevations were measured using an airborne lidar instrument. Apparent conductivities were measured using a ground-based Geonics EM38 instrument in the vertical (vd) and horizontal (hd) dipole orientations. VBF = vegetated barrier flat, MFH = high fresh marsh, MFL = low fresh marsh, MSH = high salt marsh, MSL = low salt marsh, WTFH = high wind-tidal flat, WTFL = low wind tidal flat.
