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 southeast coast of the United States from Florida to North Carolina and attributed to coastal processes during [Atlantic Basin] Hurricane Matthew, which made landfall in the U.S. on October 8, 2016.

Purpose:

To provide alongshore extents of overwash caused by Hurricane Matthew.

Source_Citation_Abbreviation: USGS obliques
Source_Contribution:

USGS low-angle oblique photographs of the coast taken after the storm 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 are delineated by hand using ArcMap (10.2.2) and comparing pre-storm imagery with post-storm imagery to determine whether overwash has occurred. Users are looking for new sand deposits over roads, marshes and vegetation.

Process_Date: 20161128

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Overwash extents were QA/QC'd by an independent second researcher using low-angle oblique photography to determine if they were erroneously identified as overwash but were actually dune erosion.
