Description:
Abstract:
The National Assessment of Coastal Change Hazards project exists to understand and predict storm impacts to our nation's coastlines. This geospatial dataset defines the alongshore extent of overwash sediments deposited along the Louisiana coast and attributed to coastal processes during [Atlantic Basin] Hurricane Delta, which made landfall in the U.S. on October 9, 2020.
Purpose:
To provide alongshore extents of overwash deposits caused by Hurricane Delta.

Source_Contribution:
USGS low-angle oblique photographs of the coast taken after the storm (Hurricane Delta) were used to verify that areas identified as overwash were indeed overwash and not dune erosion and scarping. In many instances, dune erosion and overwash leave sand deposits that appear similar in high-angle imagery.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Overwash extents were delineated, by hand, using ArcMap (10.7.1) and comparisons of pre-storm and post-storm imagery. In order to determine whether overwash had occurred, USGS staff searched for new sand deposits over roads, marshes and vegetation (Birchler and others, 2019).
Process_Date: 20201016
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Overwash extents were QA/QC'd by an independent, second researcher using low-angle oblique photography to determine if any features were erroneously identified as overwash but were actually dune erosion (Birchler and others, 2019).
Process_Date: 20201102
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The final .shp file was copied and converted to a .kmz file (Global Mapper 21.1) for use with non-proprietary software.
