Topographical and orthophotograph data sets created using Structure from Motion (SfM) from Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) data, presented as Orthophotographs (image and world file), Digital Surface Models (DSM) (image and world file), and point clouds (LAS format) using EPSG 32620 projection. The data was collected at selected sites on Dominica, Caribbean in January/February 2018 as part of a NERC funded project (NE/RO16968/1) to conduct geomorphological change and infrastructure damage baseline surveys following hurricane Maria. The data was flown using either a DJI Phantom 3 or 4, as indicated by the file name. If the file name includes 'NoGCP' in the file name the data uses the internal GPS and altitude of the DJI UAV. This means the data is not positionally accurate in absolute terms and should not be used in direct comparison to other georeferenced data. If the file name includes 'GCP' then the data was georeferenced using ground control derived from UAV data provided by the University of Michigan. This data is deemed accurate in absolute terms.

Airborne remote-sensed hyperspectral in-situ radiometry data and hyperspectral imagery collected by the NERC Field Spectroscopy Facility (FSF) Headwall Co-aligned VNIR and SWIR imager (450-2500 nm) with LiDAR instruments mounted on a drone platform. These hyperspectral data collected over a sandy and rocky shore have associated uncertainty estimations that will be used to develop of radiometric proxies for plastics detection and assess future mission requirements. This dataset was collected on 22nd July 2021 from Oban airport's shore using a range of different plastic targets
