This geospatial dataset defines the alongshore extent of overwash sediments deposited along the southeast coast of the United States from Florida to North Carolina and attributed to coastal processes during [Atlantic Basin] Hurricane Matthew, which made landfall in the U.S. on October 8, 2016. Purpose: To provide alongshore extents of overwash caused by Hurricane Matthew.

In many instances dune erosion and overwash leave sand deposits that appear similar in high-angle imagery. Process_Step: Process_Description: Overwash extents are delineated by hand using ArcMap (10.2.2) and comparing pre-storm imagery with post-storm imagery to determine whether overwash has occurred. Users are looking for new sand deposits over roads, marshes and vegetation. Process_Date: 20161128 Process_Step: Process_Description: Overwash extents were QA/QC'd by an independent second researcher using low-angle oblique photography to determine if they were erroneously identified as overwash but were actually dune erosion.
