Gibbs, A.E., Jones, B.M., and Richmond, B.M., 2020, A GIS compilation of vector shorelines and coastal bluff edge positions, and associated rate-of-change data for Barter Island, Alaska: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9CRBC5I.

Summary

This dataset includes a reference baseline used by the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) to calculate rate-of-change statistics for the coastal bluffs at Barter Island, Alaska for the time period 1950 to 2020. This baseline layer serves as the starting point for all transects cast by the DSAS application and can be used to establish measurement points used to calculate bluff-change rates.
