To calculate long-term coastal erosion rates in the Laptev Sea and subsequent sediment release to the Arctic Ocean, a precise assessment of shoreline length is necessary since current estimates rely on rough worldwide-available shoreline datasets. In addition coastlines are rarely divided into morph...
