Suggested bibliographic reference: Hapke, C. J., Henderson, R. E., 2015, Quantification of Shoreline Change Along Hatteras Island, NC: Oregon Inlet to Cape Hatteras, 1978-2002, and Associated Vector Shoreline Data: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2015–1002. We would also like to thank Bill Berkemeier and Jesse McNinch of the USACE Field Research Facility (FRF) for providing access to the aerial photograph library. Jeff List contributed to the formulation of the uncertainty calculations for the rates of change, and the initial concept for deriving a shoreline database from the FRF historic photographs came from Rob Thieler, as part of the USGS North Carolina Coastal-Change Processes project.
This dataset includes a reference baseline used by the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) to calculate rate-of-change statistics for Hatteras Island, NC from Oregon Inlet to Cape Hatteras Point. This baseline layer serves as the starting point for all transects cast by the DSAS application. The transects intersect each shoreline and establish measurement points used to calculate shoreline-change rates.
