Abstract

This dataset provides annual 10‑meter wetland maps for the Mobile‑Tensaw‑Apalachee (MTA) River Delta from 2019 to 2024, generated by integrating Sentinel‑2 optical imagery and Sentinel‑1 time‑series SAR data. A 1D‑CNN deep learning model was used to classify four wetland types: Forested Wetland, Marsh, Unconsolidated Shore, and Open Water, along with three non‑wetland classes. Classification accuracy ranged from 93% to 96%, supported by field verification and comparison with existing regional products. The dataset captures year-to-year changes in wetland extent and transitions, enabling the detection of subtle hydrological and ecological shifts within one of the largest freshwater wetland complexes in the United States.
