Abstract

In an ongoing effort to investigate coastal elevation changes as it relates to mean sea level along the upper Texas coastline, 34 survey profiles were completed in 2006 perpendicular to the shoreline beginning at Rollover Pass, Texas and ending at the jetties at Surfside, Texas. The surveys were completed to record accurate transect elevations from the dune line past the depth of closure. Permanent and temporary benchmarks were selected with emphasis on accuracy, repeatability and efficiency.
