The extension is designed to efficiently lead a user through the major steps of shoreline change analysis. This extension to ArcGIS contains three main components that define a baseline, generate orthogonal transects at a user-defined separation along the coast, and calculate rates of change (linear regression, endpoint rate, average of rates, average of endpoints, jackknife). Historical shoreline change is considered to be a crucial element in studying the vulnerability of the national shoreline. These data are used in a shoreline change analysis for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Assessment Project. en 2003 publication date Complete Unknown -120.005117 -117.126636 34.454921 32.534159 -120.005117 -117.126636 34.454921 32.534159 General Shoreline Historic Shoreline Shoreline Change Rate Linear Regression Rate Endpoint Rate Baseline Beach Erosion Beach Nourishment LIDAR T-sheet Tp-sheet Coastal Survey Map U.S. Geological Survey USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program CMGP ESRI polyline shapefile ISO 19115 Topic Category oceans oceans and estuaries oceans and coastal environment geoscientificInformation California United States General None Public domain data from the U.S. government are freely redistributable with proper metadata and source attribution.

Please visit our full report on shoreline change in the Coastline of California (http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2006/1219/) for more information about this analysis A baseline was manually constructed seaward of, and parallel to, the trend of shorelines representing four general time periods (1800s, 1920s-1930s, 1970s, and 1998-2002). Using DSAS (USGS OFR 2005-1304), transects were generated with a spacing of 50m and transect-shoreline intersection points were saved to a separate layer. Transects were manually eliminated to prevent calculation of rates in areas where less than four shorelines were intersected. Long-term rates of shoreline change, in units of m/yr, were calculated at each transect using linear regression applied to all four shoreline positions from the earliest (1800s) to the most recent (derived from lidar). Linear regression was selected because it has been shown to be the most statistically robust quantitative method when a limited number of shorelines are available and it is the most commonly applied statistical technique for expressing shoreline movement and estimating rates of change. Uncertainties for the long-term rates are also reported in units of m/yr and represent a 90% confidence interval for the slope of the regression line. This means with 90% statistical confidence that the true rate of shoreline change falls within the range defined by the reported value plus or minus the error value. The variability around the trend reflects both measurement and sampling errors. Short-term rates of shoreline change, in units of m/yr, were calculated using the endpoint method comparing the 1970s and most recent shoreline positions.
