Glenewinkel-Meyer A. 2026. Gulf Coast Network beach topography analysis tools. National Park Service
GULN-beachtopo provides specialized tools for analyzing coastal topography data from Gulf Coast Network National Park units (GUIS and PAIS). The package automates beach profile analysis workflows while handling measurement uncertainty near sea level. Probability-weighted area under curve (AUC) calculations account for measurement accuracy, providing realistic confidence intervals for detecting coastal change.
