Shoreline Length Gulf = 600 km Bays = 9,400 km

Mapping past and current shorelines – Aerial photography – Ground kinematic GPS – Airborne lidar – shoreline plus beach and dune topographic mapping Calculating “average annual rate of change” and projecting future shoreline position – GIS-based Shoreline Shape and Projection Program (SSAPP) Beach profile ground surveys Data availability and public awareness – Online reports – Web-based GIS using ArcIMS software Project Components

Data Sources Before 1930: Maps from the mid to late 1800’s produced by the U.S. Coast Survey – “high-water line mapped.” Generally not used: Engineering structures altered sediment budget since 1900.

Data Sources 1930’s to 1990’s - Vertical Aerial Photographs

Digital Photo Rectification 1995 Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quads Serve as Base Maps USGS/Tx Orthophoto Program Scanned color IR film, 1-m resolution Meet 1:12,000 map accuracy standards (90% of test points within10 m) Our tests show typically within 5 m

1990’s – Kinematic GPS Surveys Data Sources

Mirror sweeps laser beam across the ground. Range to target is determined by measuring time interval between outgoing and return of reflected laser pulse. Aircraft position is determined using GPS phase differencing techniques. Pointing direction of laser determined with Inertial Measuring Unit (IMU) and recording of mirror position. Data streams recorded and synchronized for post processing. Airborne Topographic Lidar

Why Use a Wet/Dry Elevation? Consistent with historical photography. Consistent with 2d ground GPS surveys. Lidar can measure reliably even during elevated water levels. Geomorphologically significant elevation not as susceptible to short-term erosion/depositional cycles compared to lower elevations.
