Detailed Description
DSAS generates transects that are cast perpendicular to the reference baseline at a user-specified spacing alongshore. There are no restrictions on where the reference baseline is drawn, it may be positioned completely to one side of the shoreline data or be placed between the historical shoreline positions. DSAS measures the distance between the baseline and each shoreline intersection along a transect, and combines date information, and positional uncertainty for each shoreline, to generate the following change metrics:
