Shoreline change rates were calculated for two time periods: pre-Sandy (2010-2012) and post-Sandy (2012-2022). The profiles were derived from light detection and ranging (lidar) digital elevation models (DEMs). Refer to Doran and others (2017) for more information about the source lidar data. These data support the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF)-funded project entitled “Monitoring Hurricane Sandy Beach and Marsh Resilience in New York and New Jersey” (NFWF project ID 2300.16.055110), for which the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) is using remotely-sensed data and targeted in-situ observations to monitor the post-restoration evolution of beaches, dunes, vegetative cover, and sediment budgets at seven post-Hurricane Sandy restoration sites in New York and New Jersey. Purpose: To provide data on shoreline change of New Jersey and New York sandy beaches, pre- and post-Hurricane Sandy.

Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Horizontal coordinates were projected to the World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84) coordinate system with a resolution of 10 m alongshore.

Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Vertical accuracy was determined for each volume based on the scatter in the lidar dataset for each grid cell. Vertical coordinates were projected to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) coordinate system with a resolution of 15cm.

Process_Step: Process_Description: Mean-high-water shorelines derived from lidar DEMs within the study area (New York and New Jersey) were used to calculate shoreline change rates. Shoreline change rates were calculated for two time periods: pre-Sandy (2010-2012) and post-Sandy (2012-2022). Refer to Doran and others (2017) for more information about the source lidar data used in these calculations. Shoreline change rates and uncertainties were calculated using two methods: End Point Rate (EPR) and Linear Regression Rate (LRR) using MATLAB. For each transect, the first and last shorelines available for both time periods were used for the EPR and those dates are noted in the attribute table. For the LRR, all shorelines that had a value for cross-shore location were used, and the first and last dates of those shorelines are noted in the attribute table. Other existing shorelines in between the two time windows were also used in calculating the LRR. For more details about the methods used, see Himmelstoss and others (2018). The dataset was then converted to a comma-separated values file (.csv) for publication in this data release.
