| Summary: | Digital coastlines from the Canadian Beaufort Sea were generated from accurately georeferenced satellite imagery and aerial photography. These coastlines provide an accurate representation of the land/water interface at a given time and position along the coastline. Orthophotos from 2004 were provided in digital format by the Mackenzie Valley Air Photo (MVAP) Project, which is a partnership between Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC), Natural Resources Canada, Environment Canada and the Government of Northwest Territories. For more information please refer to the datafiles entitled: CCIN12037_20150121_Shingle_Point_coastline_YEAR_Extended_Metadata_FGDC.xml : Purpose: The comparison of digital coastlines across various time intervals will allow for an accurate representation of coastal change. A better understanding of coastal change and its relationship to the changing morphology of coastal and inland waterways will aid in future decision-making for development and management of one of the most rapidly changing coastlines in the world. : Summary: Not Applicable |
