Basic Information

Dataset ID:VCR97037

Dataset Title (Identity):Shoreline and Upland/Marsh data for Hog Island 1852-2001

Dataset Contacts: Guofan Shao Ph.D.,

Dataset Originators (Authors): Guofan Shao Ph.D., John H Porter ,

LTER Core Areas: Disturbance, Site Physical Characteristics

Collection Started (MM/DD/YY): 12/31/1852 Collection Ended: 10/15/2007

General Location Where Data Was Collected: Hog Island

Form of the Data: Special


Dataset Description

Shorelines and upland/marsh boundaries from National Ocean Survey maps (1852, 1871, 1910, 1919,), aerial photos (1943, 1967, 1980, 1990), and satellite TM scene (1993).

Update: John Porter added 2001 based on digitization of a 10/15/2001 IKONOS satellite image. The high tide line was digitized on the beach based on the edge of the wetted sand. For the marsh, the marsh-lagoon border was digitized. The upland/marsh boundary is not included for 2001.

Dataset Format Description

Arc/Info export coverages thru 1993 in UTM/NAD27, then zipped shapefiles for later year(s). Shapefiles for all years are also included in a .zip file. With the exception of the 2001 data (where both WGS84 and NAD27 versions are available) all shapefiles use the NAD27 Datum. All data are in the UTM projection in zone 18.
