Online_Linkage: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2015/1002/ Description: Abstract: The shoreline of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, is experiencing long-term coastal erosion. In order to better understand and monitor the changing coastline, historical aerial imagery is used to map shoreline change. For the area of Hatteras Island from Cape Point to Oregon Inlet, fourteen aerial datasets from 1978-2002 were scanned and georeferenced for use in a Geographic Information System (GIS). Shoreline positions (high water line) were digitized from georeferenced imagery. The shoreline vectors were then compiled for use in the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) ArcGIS extension in order to generate rates of shoreline change. Purpose: 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.

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.

The data have been quality checked and the attribute value (Id) increments sequentially alongshore. Logical_Consistency_Report: Each polyline has a unique identification attribute (Id) used to designate the alongshore order of baselines. 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 along sections of Hatteras Island, North Carolina from Oregon Inlet to Cape Point. 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. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: A baseline was constructed offshore from the time series of shoreline positions using standard editing tools in ArcMap v. 10.0. The baseline was positioned to conform to changes in the combined orientation of the shorelines alongshore. This was done so that transects cast from this baseline would intersect perpendicular to the general trend of the shorelines.
