Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 5.1 transects with short-term linear regression rate calculations for the exposed eastern Beaufort Sea coast of Alaska from the U.S. Canadian Border to the Hulahula River
This dataset consists of short-term (less than 39 years) shoreline change rates for the exposed, open-ocean coast of Alaska from the U.S. Canadian Border to the Hulahula River. Rate calculations were computed within a GIS using the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 5.1, an ArcGIS extension developed by the U.S. Geological Survey. Short-term rates of shoreline change were calculated using a linear regression rate-of-change method based on available shoreline data between 1978 and 2017. A reference baseline was used as the originating point for the orthogonal transects cast by the DSAS software. The transects intersect each shoreline establishing measurement points, which are then used to calculate short-term rates.
