- Description:

- Abstract:
-
The shoreline of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, is experiencing long-term coastal erosion. In order to better understand and monitor the changing coastline, historical aerial imagery is used to map shoreline change. For the area of Hatteras Island from Cape Point to Oregon Inlet, fourteen aerial datasets from 1978-2002 were scanned and georeferenced for use in a Geographic Information System (GIS). Shoreline positions (high water line) were digitized from georeferenced imagery. The shoreline vectors were then compiled for use in the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) ArcGIS extension in order to generate rates of shoreline change.
- Purpose:
-
The Hatteras Index was generated to subdivide the study area (Hatteras Island, NC) into manageable regions, and to provide guidance for downloading data. The index polygon names follow the nomenclature of the USGS 24k quadrangle index, but do not completely coincide spatially.

We would also like to thank Bill Berkemeier and Jesse McNinch of the USACE Field Research Facility (FRF) for providing access to the aerial photograph library. Jeff List contributed to the formulation of the uncertainty calculations for the rates of change, and the initial concept for deriving a shoreline database from the FRF historic photographs came from Rob Thieler, as part of the USGS North Carolina Coastal-Change Processes project.

Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1 (Build 2600) Service Pack 3; ESRI ArcCatalog 10.0
- Data_Quality_Information:
-
- Logical_Consistency_Report:
-
Adjacent polygon segments may overlap and are not necessarily continuous. Polygons were quality checked for accuracy. There may be slight offsets between adjacent segments due to georeferencing and digitizing error. The index serves as an approximate guide to divide the data; therefore no error assessments were conducted.
- Completeness_Report:
-
An index map was generated to subdivide the study area into six regions. The polygon shapefile was manually digitized following the approximate location of the USGS 24K quadrangle index. The index polygon names follow the nomenclature of the USGS 24k quadrangle index, but do not completely coincide spatially.

- Process_Description:
-
An index map was generated to subdivide the study area into more manageable regions. The polygon shapefile was manually digitized following the approximate location of the USGS 24K quadrangle index. The index polygon names loosely follow the nomenclature of the USGS 24k quadrangle index, but do not completely coincide spatially.
