Project Description
Shoreline change rates were calculated using the latest coast-wide airborne lidar data acquired in February 2012. Updated rates include the effects (erosion, deposition, and recovery) associated with Hurricane Ike, which struck the upper Texas coast in September 2008 and significantly altered beach and dune morphology and shoreline position. The next update of long-term shoreline change rates will be based on shorelines position extracted from coast-wide airborne lidar data scheduled to be acquired in 2015.
