Alaska: Cape Prince of Wales to Kotlik River midshore baselines generated to calculate shoreline change rates
This dataset includes reference baselines used by the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 5.1.2 to calculate rate-of-change statistics for the exposed, open-ocean coast of western Alaska between Cape Prince of Wales to the Kotlik River for the time period 1949 to 2015. This baselines 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.
