Upland boundary lines, points, and transects with rates for the Point Aux Chenes and Grand Bay Estuaries in Mississippi and Alabama from 1848 to 2022
This dataset represents a compilation of vector upland boundary lines, upland boundary points, and transects with rates for the Point Aux Chenes and Grand Bay estuaries (Mississippi and Alabama) for 1848, 1957/1958 (henceforth referred to as 1957), and 2019/2022 (henceforth referred to as 2022). Upland data were obtained from multiple data sources, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) topographic sheets (t-sheets) and WorldView 2 satellite imagery. Regardless of the source, all upland lines were merged into a single file, to conduct a transect based change analyses. Datasets were compiled and analyzed using the R package Analyzing Moving Boundaries Using R (AMBUR) program (Jackson, 2010). This data release contains vector upland boundary lines, upland boundary points, and transects with rates of change joined to the data table.
