The methods and transects used by McBride and others (1992) were used to insure data compatibility of the new measurements and analysis.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://pubs.usgs.gov/dds/dds79/HTMLDOCS/catalog.htm", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.de438789-4ffb-4fb1-a21a-ae5af7315b8d.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_de438789-4ffb-4fb1-a21a-ae5af7315b8d", "keyword": ["CMGP", "Caminada-Moureau", "Caminada-Moureau Headland", "Coastal and Marine Geology Program", "GIS", "Geographic Information System", "Grand Isle", "Gulf of Mexico", "Jefferson Parish", "Lafourche Parish", "Louisiana", "Louisiana State University", "U.S. Geological Survey", "USGS", "USGS:de438789-4ffb-4fb1-a21a-ae5af7315b8d", "University of New Orleans", "Woods Hole Field Center", "aerial mapping", "aerial mapping photography", "barrier island", "coastal erosion", "coastal erosion processes", "coastal processes", "geoscientificInformation", "geospatial datasets", "oceans", "shoreline change"], "modified": "2025-08-15T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-90.254839, 29.064068, -89.951068, 29.270122", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Shoreline for Caminada-Moreau Headland, 1887"}
