Polygon shapefiles attributed with morphometric information for barrier islands and spits located along the north coast of Alaska between Cape Beaufort and the U.S.-Canadian border, 1947 to 2019

Description

A suite of morphological metrics were derived from existing shoreline and elevation datasets for barrier islands and spits located along the north-slope coast of Alaska between Cape Beaufort and the U.S.-Canadian border. This dataset includes barrier polygons attributed with morphological metrics from five time periods: 1950s, 1980s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s.
