Using DSAS (USGS OFR 2005-1304), transects were generated with a spacing of 20m and transect-cliff edge intersection points were saved to a separate layer. Transects were manually eliminated to prevent calculation of rates in areas where less than two cliff edges were intersected. Rates of cliff edge erosion, in units of m/yr, were calculated at each transect using end point rate applied to both cliff edge positions from 1920s-1930s and 1998-2002 (derived from lidar). End point rate was selected because there were two cliff edges available.
