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 cliff erosion is considered to be a crucial element in studying the vulnerability of the national coastline. These data are used in a cliff erosion analysis for the USGS National Assessment Project. en 2005 publication date Complete None planned -120.000899 -117.243629 34.494367 32.632072 -120.000899-117.24362932.66624234.457762 General Cliff Edge Historic Cliff Edge Cliff Edge Erosion Rate Endpoint Rate Baseline Cliff Erosion 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 geoscientificInformation oceans and estuaries oceans and coastal Geographic Names Information System, USGS, Reston, VA United States California None Public domain data are freely redistributable with proper metadata and source attribution.

U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2005-1304). The data has gone through a series of QA/QC procedures, and is therefore believed to accurately reflect the data gathered as part of the National Assessment of Shoreline Change Study. Baseline generation was made as part of the calculation process for the Digital Shoreline Analysis System an Extension for ArcGIS (https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2005/1304/). No additional checks for topological consistency were performed on the data. This baseine data represents a generalization of the coastline of California used by DSAS. Remaining gaps in this data, if applicable, are a consequence of non-existing cliff edges data. A Baseline was generated within ArcGIS to be used by the Digital Shoreline Anaylsis System (https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2005/1304/)in the calculation of cliff erosion rates. Please visit our full report on cliff erosion along the Coastline of California (https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2007/1133/) for more information about this analysis. A baseline was manually constructed seaward of, and parallel to, the trend of cliff edges representing two general time periods (1920s-1930s and 1998-2002). 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. Uncertainties are reported in units of m/yr. 2006 Cheryl Hapke U.S. Geological Survey mailing and physical address
