Summary

This dataset contains daily estimates of erosion for select time windows at four sites along the back barrier margin of Cumberland Island National Seashore (CUIS). The four locations selected for instrumentation are referenced by the name of the general area where they were located and are as follows: Brickhill Bluff (bb), Dungeness Wharf (dw), Plum Orchard (po), and Racoon Key (rk). Additionally, this dataset provides offsets that were used to correct the photo-electric erosion pin (PEEP) erosion values to those measured in the field. Using the offsets and magnitude of erosion between site visits, a running cumulative sum of erosion is also provided.

Purpose

These data were collected to evaluate the spatial and temporal behavior of erosion at select locations along the back barrier of CUIS. The high temporal resolution of of the PEEPs was expect to provide greater insight into erosional processes and allow an assessment of meteorological/hydrological conditions to drive erosion in this environment.
