Using DSAS an Extension for ArcGIS(http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/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.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <BR /> <DIV STYLE="margin-left:'0.4in'"> <I>Person responsible for change:</I><BR /> <DIV STYLE="margin-left:'0.2in'"><DIV STYLE="margin-left:'0.2in'"> <DIV>Bruce Richmond</DIV><DIV>U.S. Geological Survey</DIV><PRE ID="original">Pacific Science Center</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> <PRE ID="original">400 Natural Bridges Drive</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> <DIV> Santa Cruz, Ca 95060</DIV> <DIV>USA</DIV><BR /> <DIV>(831) 427-4450 (voice)</DIV><DIV>(831) 427-4748 (FAX)</DIV><DIV><I>Hours of Service:</I> Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Pacific Standard Time</DIV></DIV> </DIV> </DIV> <BR /> </DIV> <DIV STYLE="margin-left:'0.2in'"> <DIV> <I>Date:</I> 20070716 (change 2 of 2) </DIV> <DIV STYLE="margin-left:'0.4in'"> <PRE ID="original">Data were projected from UTM zone 10 to geographic with a datum shift from NAD27 to NAD83 Tool: ArcGIS &gt; ArcToolbox &gt; Toolboxes &gt; Data Management Tools &gt; Project Command issued: GEOGCS['GCS_North_American_1983',DATUM['D_North_American_1983',SPHEROID['GRS_1980',6378137.0,298.257222101]],PRIMEM['Greenwich',0.0],UNIT['Degree',0.0174532925199433]] # NAD_1927_To_NAD_1983_NADCON</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <BR /> <DIV STYLE="margin-left:'0.4in'"> <I>Person responsible for change:</I><BR /> <DIV STYLE="margin-left:'0.2in'"><DIV STYLE="margin-left:'0.2in'"> <DIV>Emily Himmelstoss</DIV><DIV>U.S. Geological Survey</DIV><DIV>Geologist</DIV><PRE ID="original">384 Woods Hole Road</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> <DIV> Woods Hole, MA 02543-1598</DIV> <DIV>USA</DIV><BR /> <DIV>508-548-8700 x2262 (voice)</DIV><DIV>(508) 457-2310 (FAX)</DIV><DIV>ehimmelstoss@usgs.gov</DIV></DIV> </DIV> </DIV> <BR /> </DIV> </LI> </OL> <A HREF="#Top">Back to Top</A> <HR /> <A name="quality"><H3>How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?</H3></A> <OL> <LI> <A name="quality.1"><B>How well have the observations been checked?</B></A> <BR /><BR /> </LI> <LI> <A name="quality.2"><B>How accurate are the geographic locations?</B></A> <BR /><BR /> <DIV STYLE="margin-left:'0.2in'"> <PRE ID="original">Postional Accuracy is based on position of shoreline with respect to the transect.</PRE> <SCRIPT>fix(original)</SCRIPT> </DIV> <BR /> </LI> <LI> <A name="quality.3"><B>How accurate are the heights or depths?</B></A> <BR /><BR /> </LI> <LI> <A name="quality.4"><B>Where are the gaps in the data?
