Given this increasing need to forecast sea-level rise effects on barrier islands in the near and long terms, we are developing Bayesian networks to evaluate and to forecast the cascading effects of sea-level rise on shoreline change, barrier island state, and piping plover habitat availability. We use publicly available data products, such as lidar, orthophotography, and geomorphic feature sets derived from those, to extract metrics of barrier island characteristics at consistent sampling distances. The metrics are then incorporated into predictive models and the training data used to parameterize those models. This data release contains the extracted metrics of barrier island geomorphology and spatial data layers of habitat characteristics that are input to Bayesian networks for piping plover habitat availability and barrier island geomorphology. These datasets and models are being developed for sites along the northeastern coast of the United States. This work is one component of a larger research and management program that seeks to understand and sustain the ecological value, ecosystem services, and habitat suitability of beaches in the face of storm impacts, climate change, and sea-level rise. Purpose: The vector layer delineates areas of human development. Polygons were hand-digitized from 1-m aerial imagery captured in 2010 and outline areas of general human development (for example, buildings, residential development, paved roads) as well as coastal armoring (for example, jetties and groins). The data was used in vector format during a supervised land cover classification and converted to raster format to be merged with other land cover sub-classifications, producing the supervised classification raster layer (EF10_SupClass.tif in larger work). This dataset is part of a series of spatial datasets used to describe characteristics of barrier islands found along the North American Atlantic coast in order to identify habitat for the federally protected piping plover (Charadrius melodus). Information contained in these spatial datasets was used within a Bayesian network to model the probability that a specific set of landscape characteristics would be associated with piping plover habitat (Zeigler and others 2019).

Online_Linkage: https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20191071 Data_Quality_Information: Logical_Consistency_Report: This vector layer depicts hand-digitized areas of human development. It was produced manually based on visual inspection of orthoimagery. The data were reviewed using standard USGS review procedures. No checks for topological consistency were performed on these data. Completeness_Report: This dataset contains all human development within a custom boundary, to the best of our knowledge based on visual inspection of orthoimagery. This dataset may not include the entire spatial extent of the original source dataset as it was published in original form. However, the custom boundary spans the entire coverage of the site relevant to the broader research program (see Zeigler and others, 2019 for more details). This dataset is therefore considered complete for the information presented as described in the abstract section. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The horizontal accuracy of the vector layer inherits the accuracy of the orthoimagery from which it was derived (see source contribution information). This dataset was derived through manual digitization based on visual interpretation of aerial imagery. Some error is intrinsic in the manual process. We estimate the accuracy of this development raster to be within 5 m horizontally. No formal accuracy assessments have been conducted.
