Midshore baseline for the exposed central Beaufort Sea coast of Alaska (Hulahula River to the Colville River) generated to calculate shoreline change rates
Description
This dataset includes a reference baseline used by the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) to calculate rate-of-change statistics for the exposed, open-ocean coast of Alaska between the Hulahula River and the Colville River for the time period 1947 to 2017. This baseline layer serves as the starting point for all transects cast by the DSAS application and can be used to establish measurement points used to calculate shoreline-change rates.
