Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 4.3 Transects with Short-Term End Point Rate Calculations for the Sheltered East Chukchi Sea coast of Alaska between Point Barrow and Icy Cape
Description
This dataset consists of short-term (~33 years) shoreline change rates for the north coast of Alaska between Point Barrow and Icy Cape. Rate calculations were computed within a GIS using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 4.3, an ArcGIS extension developed by the U.S. Geological Survey. Short-term rates of shoreline change were calculated using an end point rate-of-change method based on available shoreline data between 1979 and 2012. A reference baseline was used as the originating point for the orthogonal transects cast by the DSAS software. Transects intersect each shoreline establishing measurement points, which are then used to calculate short-term rates.
