Transects_OpenOcean Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) 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 Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) 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 Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) 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 Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) 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 Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) 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
