Data underlying Chapter 4 of the dissertation "Coastal Science for Sea Turtle Conservation"

This dataset contains the data underlying the analyses presented in Chapter 4 of the PhD thesis "Coastal Science for Sea Turtle Conservation" by Jakob C. Christiaanse. In that study, we combined satellite-derived shorelines (CoastSat), shoreline modeling (CoSMoS-COAST), and global datasets to analyze the shoreline evolution, characteristics, and future vulnerability of nine globally important sea turtle nesting beaches. We identify seasonal and long-term shoreline change patterns, hindcast (1980-2024) and forecast (2025-2100) shoreline positions under various sea level rise scenarios, and quantify available accommodation space based on backbeach elevation and infrastructure footprints. This dataset includes the satellite satellite-derived shoreline positions, model input (hydrodynamics, slope, shorelines) and output (hindcast and forecast shoreline positions), and backbeach characteristics for each study site. The Matlab model code used to run the shoreline predictions is also included. The Chapter is currently in preparation to be submitted as a journal article.

本数据集涵盖雅各布·C·克里斯琴森（Jakob C. Christiaanse）博士学位论文《海岸科学与海龟保护》（Coastal Science for Sea Turtle Conservation）第四章分析所依托的全部核心数据。在该项研究中，团队结合CoastSat生成的卫星衍生岸线（satellite-derived shorelines）、CoSMoS-COAST岸线模拟模型与全球公开数据集，对全球9处核心海龟筑巢海滩的岸线演化规律、属性特征与未来脆弱性展开了系统性分析。研究探明了季节性与长期岸线变化模式，推演了不同海平面上升情景下1980-2024年的后报（hindcast）岸线位置与2025-2100年的预报（forecast）岸线位置，并基于后滩高程与基础设施占地范围量化了可利用容存空间（accommodation space）。本数据集包含各研究站点的卫星衍生岸线位置、模型输入数据（水动力参数、坡度数据、岸线数据）与模型输出数据（后报、预报岸线位置），以及后滩属性特征。本数据集同时附带了用于开展岸线预测的Matlab模型代码。该章节目前已完成撰写并将投稿至学术期刊。在正式发表前，若使用本数据集，请同时引用本数据集与学位论文：
