Figure 3.  Example of an end point rate calculation using a sample dataset. The rate of 1.09 meters per year is calculated as the distance between the shorelines in 1936 (baseline) and 2005 (76.03 meters) and divided by the span of time elapsed between the two shoreline positions (69.82 years). All other shoreline data are ignored in this computation. Figure from Himmelstoss (2009).
