Summary

This data release provides tidally corrected shoreline positions for three sites of western Long Island, NY (Rockaway Peninsula, Long Beach, Jones Beach Island). The CSVs are derived from the software CoastSeg (Fitzpatrick and others, 2024). CoastSeg collects satellite images from Google Earth Engine to create shoreline data along with user supplied inputs based on the CoastSat methodology (Vos and others, 2019). Data have been tidally corrected based on beach foreshore slopes (Farris and Webber, 2024). The data can be viewed in either a text or spreadsheet program. References Fitzpatrick, S., Buscombe, D., Warrick, J.A., Lundine, M.A., Vos, K., 2024 CoastSeg: an accessible and extendable hub for satellite-derived shoreline (SDS) [...]

Purpose

These shoreline positions were used to observe the change in shoreline position over the entire observed record for Rockaway Peninsula, Long Beach, and Jones Beach Island in New York. The data are intended to be used to find sediment waves and erosion and accretion patterns, as well as evidence of storm damage and beach nourishments. This data set can be used both in geographic information systems (GIS) as well as other software such as MATLAB or Python.
