Summary
This dataset contains cumulative erosion magnitude measured at individual erosion pins at select sites along the western margin of CUIS. Additionally, the data are presented as rates and summarized to the site level to facilitate comparison with other methods used to estimate erosion with slightly varying temporal ranges.

Purpose
These data were collected to evaluate the spatial and temporal behavior of erosion at select locations along the back barrier of CUIS. The primary goal of the standard erosion pins was to provide a context which to view the continuous erosion by having a better understanding of the variability along a greater reach of the selected margins. The standard pins also allowed a quantification of gross erosion between site visits providing important data when PEEPs became completely exposed thus collecting no meaningful data.
