Alaska: Central Beaufort Sea Coast (Hulahula River to Colville River) transects with short-term end-point rate calculations for the sheltered coast
This dataset includes a reference baseline used by the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) to calculate rate-of-change statistics for the mainland coast of Alaska sheltered by barrier islands from 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.
