Offshore baseline for the exposed Eastern Chukchi Sea, Alaska coastal region (Point Barrow to Icy Cape) 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 north coast of Alaska coastal region between Point Barrow and Icy Cape for the time period 1947 to 2012. 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.
