This feature records the proxy-datum bias (PDB) and the uncertainty in the PDB. The "bias feature" is a shapefile representation the proxy-datum bias (PDB) data previously published in tabular format (Himmelstoss and others, 2010, and Himmelstoss and others, 2018). These PDB data are used to shift older proxy-based shorelines so that they can be directly compared to newer datum-based shorelines and accurate rates can be calculated. These data are provided for users of the ArcGIS DSAS extension and should only be used to determine the corrected change rate when both datum-based (e.g. MHW) and proxy-based (e.g. HWL) shorelines are included in the dataset. In this publication, the proxy-based shorelines used in the analysis are from Kratzmann and others, 2017.
