The dataset described here identifies the Euclidean distance from the center of each 5x5 m GeoTiff cell within the boundaries of the Assawoman Island, Virginia study area to the ocean, with the ocean boundary being the mean high water (MHW) ocean shoreline, according to lidar captured in 2014. See Zeigler and others (2019) for additional details.
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.
