Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 5.0 transects with bluff rate change calculations for the north coast of Barter Island Alaska, 1950 to 2020
Description
This dataset consists of rate-of-change statistics for the coastal bluffs at Barter Island, Alaska for the time period 1950 to 2020. Rate calculations were computed within a GIS using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 5.0, an ArcGIS extension developed by the U.S. Geological Survey. A reference baseline was used as the originating point for the orthogonal transects cast by the DSAS software. The transects intersect each bluff line establishing measurement points, which are then used to calculate bluff-change rates.
