Digital elevation models and orthophotomaps of Isbjørnhamna, Svalbard (2018-2025)

This is a dataset related to the manuscript "Impact of storms and ice on the sub-monthly to interannual Arctic gravel beach change (Isbjørnhamna, Svalbard)". The dataset contains 16 digital elevation models (DEMs) and orthophotomaps of Isbjørnhamna, Hornsund, Svalbard at 0.05 m resolution over seven years (2018-2025). For the topographic change detection described in the manuscript, a number of post-processing steps were taken, including gap filling, change raster smoothing, noise filtering and manual removal of irrelevant change.

  • Project title: Wave energy delivery to the shores of Hornsund fjord, Svalbard Project ID: UMO-2021/40/C/ST10/00146 Project description: This study focuses on modelling wave energy delivery to the shores of Hornsund, a ~300 km2 fjord of SW Spitsbergen, Svalbard, through 1) a fjord-scale modelling of wind wave transformation that incorporates the role of sea ice in wave attenuation, and 2) a beach-scale empirical modelling of water level maxima. The overall goal is to understand how changing climate, namely sea ice decline and increasing storminess, impacts Arctic shores, and to predict shoreline water levels at present and in future Project homepage: https://projekty.ncn.gov.pl/en/index.php?projekt_id=509796 Project financing institution: National Science Centre, Poland
