Description

The dataset covers the Laptev Sea coast from 120 to 168 E and Alaska and Canadian Beaufort Sea Coast from 130 to 168 W. 

Probabilities of erosion and accretion (change of land to water and visa versa) have been derived from Landsat for the time period 1999–2014. A probability threshold of 50% was applied to separate erosion and accretion areas which are provided as polygons (shape files).

Further information regarding the algorithm is available in Bartsch et al. (2020).
