Coastline, Shallow Bay 1950-2010, Northwest Territories, northern Canada

Digital coastlines from the Canadian Beaufort Sea were generated from accurately georeferenced aerial photography (1950-2004) and satellite imagery (2010 - Worldview 1&2), (2009 - Radarsat-2). These coastlines provide an accurate representation of the land/water interface at a given time and position along the coastline. The horizontal positional accuracy is unknown (0.5 m to 5 m). 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. All aerial photography was georeferenced to 2004 orthophotographs. For more information please refer to the datafiles entitled: CCIN12036_YYYYMMDD_Shallow_Bay_coastline_YEAR_Extended_Metadata_FGDC.xml
