Datasets compiled from multiple sources

Dataset name Equipment Description Dataset contact
Lidar_Shorelines_1998_2014 Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) Polyline shapefiles of Mean High Water (MHW) shorelines extracted from lidar elevation data from 1998–2014 Rachel E Henderson
Aerial_Shorelines_1940_2015 Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) Polyline shapefiles of Wet Dry Line (WDL) shoreline delineated from historical aerial imagery from 1940–2015 Rachel E Henderson
Transects_OpenOcean Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) Polyline shapefiles of DSAS generated shore normal transects for the open-ocean shoreline of Dauphin Island, with associated rates of change for three shoreline analyses: Lidar shoreline change (1998–2014), Aerial shoreline change (1940–2015), and combined Lidar and Aerial shoreline change (1940–2015) Rachel E Henderson
Transects_BackBarrier Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) Polyline shapefiles of DSAS generated shore normal transects for the back-barrier shoreline of Dauphin Island, with associated rates of change for three shoreline analyses: Lidar shoreline change (1998–2014), Aerial shoreline change (1940–2015), and combined Lidar and Aerial shoreline change (1940–2015) Rachel E Henderson
Baseline_OpenOcean Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) Open-ocean offshore baseline for generating shore-normal transects in DSAS Rachel E Henderson
Baseline_BackBarrier Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) Back-barrier offshore baseline for generating shore-normal transects in DSAS Rachel E Henderson
baseline Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) A line shapefile parallel to, and seaward of, the Breton Island 1869-2014 shorelines. The baseline serves as a starting point for the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) to cast transects. Joseph F Terrano
shorelines Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) Line shapefiles of mean high water shorelines derived from NOAA T-Sheets, aerial imagery, and Lidar, for Breton Island, LA, dating from 1869 to 2014. There are 14 shapefiles, one for each available date. Joseph F Terrano
transects Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) Line shapefiles of transects generated from the DSAS rate of change program. Transects were generated for the analysis time periods: long-term (1869–2014), long-term historic (1869–1950), post Mississippi River-Gulf Outlet (1950–2014), pre/post Hurricane Katrina (2004–2005), and recent (2005–2014). Rate of change statistics from each analysis are joined to the corresponding transects. There are 5 shapefiles, one for time period. Joseph F Terrano

Lidar_Footprints_Individual Airborne Topographic Mapper 3 (ATM3) Individual footprints of lidar data published by the USGS SPCMSC since 2001 Breanna N Williams
