Elevation data collected in 2009 on the beach and foreshore in the vicinity of Wainwright, Alaska
Beach and foreshore elevation data were collected in the vicinity of Wainwright, Alaska. The area from the mouth of the Kuk River to about 8 km to the northeast was measured in August 2009. The area from the mouth of the Kuk River to about 5 km to the northeast was measured in October 2009. The elevation data were collected with Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) Global Positioning System (GPS) systems mounted on all-terrain vehicles. The GPS sampling rate was 1 Hz with vehicle speeds maintained at less than 15 km/hour, resulting in a sample point resolution of 3-5 m. Data are available in a single csv file.
