Description

The Sediment Analysis Network for Decision Support (SANDS) MODIS GeoTIFF dataset consists of the set of GeoTIFF images provided to the Geological Survey of Alabama for their analysis. These are seasonal data for storms. The Sediment Analysis Network for Decision Support (SANDS) analyzes GeoTIFF images to determine sediment redistribution after a hurricane on the Gulf coast and then creates a product based on the analysis.
