Coastal Land-Cover and Feature Datasets ...

USGS data release with associated metadata for coastal land-cover and feature datasets derived from Landsat satellite imagery from Delaware Bay, New Jersey (NJ) to Shinnecock Bay, New York (NY). A total of 119 images acquired between 2008 and 2022 were analyzed to produce 143 thematic land-cover raster datasets. Water, bare earth (sand), and vegetated land-cover classes were mapped using (1) successive thresholding and masking of the modified normalized difference water index (mNDWI), the normalized difference bare land index (NBLI), and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and (2) applying a rule-based classification workflow. Vector shoreline and sand feature extents were extracted for each image by contouring the spectral indices using the calculated threshold values.
