Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) version 5.1 transects with short-term linear regression rate calculations for the sheltered central Beaufort Sea coast of Alaska from the Hulahula River to the Colville River
This dataset consists of short-term (less than 39 years) shoreline change rates for the mainland coast of Alaska sheltered by barrier islands from the Hulahula River to the Colville 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 1979 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.
