Description:
Abstract:
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.
Purpose:
These data are part of a series of data quantifying rates and patterns of shoreline change and coastal permafrost bluff retreat from 1947 to 2020 at Barter Island. Alaska.

Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant metadata file is intended to document the dataset in nonproprietary form, as well as in Esri format, this metadata file may include some Esri-specific terminology.

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The attribute in this layer is based on the requirements for use within the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) software (Himmelstoss and others, 2018). The data have been quality checked.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
All polylines have a unique identification attribute (ID). This field is used by the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) to designate the alongshore order of baselines if there are more than one. Adjacent baseline segments do not overlap and are not necessarily continuous.
Completeness_Report:
This baseline file is complete and contains all baseline segments used to cast transects where data are present to calculate a rate of change.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The baseline serves as a reference point for transects cast by the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) software. It does not correspond to any real-world feature.
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy:
Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The baseline serves as a reference point for transects cast by the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) software. It does not correspond to any real-world feature.

Source_Citation_Abbreviation: Historical bluff edge positions
Source_Contribution:
Historical bluff edge positions were used to constrain the offshore position of the baseline.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
A baseline was generated by creating a shore-parallel vector north of the northernmost historical bluff edge position using standard editing tools in Esri ArcMap v. 10.7. The baseline was positioned to conform to changes in the orientation of the historical bluff edge position also included in this data release. This was done so that transects, which are generated from the baseline, would intersect perpendicular to the general trend of the coastal bluff.
Process_Date: 2020
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The baseline feature class was exported to a shapefile in ArcMap v 10.7 by right-clicking the baseline layer.
