Supplemental Information

One shapefile, an Excel file, and the complete collection of oblique aerial photographs are provided in this publication. A point file (replicated in both Excel and shapefile formats) provides the spatial location where each photograph was taken. For ease of use, the oblique aerial photographs are grouped into 19 separate .zip file downloads. The image group divisions are composed of approximately 100 photos and are grouped by general shoreline position and characterization. Image file names and image file groups are listed in the point files. Photography of the shoreline in the vicinity of Unalakleet and Shaktoolik can be found in the image groups norton-sound-shoreline-obliques-15 and norton-sound-shoreline-obliques-07, respectively. The DGGS metadata standard extends the FGDC standard to include several elements that are required to facilitate internal data management. These elements, referred to as 'layers', group and describe files that have intrinsic logical or topological relationships. This dataset is described by one layer titled:
>norton-sound-photo-points Points showing the locations of 2180 oblique aerial photographs from eastern Norton Sound (these points are provided in both .xlsx and shapefile formats)
