Geomorphic Wetland Mapping from Augusta to Walpole

Geomorphic wetland mapping data created for the 1997 wetlands study by V C Semeniuk for the Waters and Rivers Commission. The dataset classifies wetlands by physical characteristics for the Augusta to Walpole region, revealing detailed mapping and wetland grouping information.

Use Cases

• Analyze wetland grouping patterns using physical characteristics classifications from the 1997 study.
• Map the interconnectedness of wetland resources between Augusta and Walpole based on geomorphic classification.
• Assess conservation priorities for swamp and swampland areas using the wetland mapping and classification.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a formal 1997 wetlands study conducted by a named researcher (V C Semeniuk).
• Mapping was created using aerial assessment supplemented by field work for ground verification.
• Dataset is available in multiple geospatial formats (WFS, WMS, GeoJSON, SHP, etc.) for interoperability.

Limitations

• The dataset is based on a 1997 study, making the mapping and classifications potentially outdated for current conditions.
• Specific quantitative metrics like row count, column count, and spatial resolution are unknown.
