These data were acquired from Hammar-Klose and Thieler (2001; Coastal vulnerability to sea-level rise: a preliminary database for the U.S. Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf of Mexico coasts, U.S. Geological Survey, Digital Data Series 68). Data from Dolan and Peatross (1992; Data supplement to the U.S. Geological Survey 1:2,000,000-scale map of shoreline erosion and accretion of the mid-Atlantic coast, U.S. Geological Survey Open File Report 92-377, 116 p.) was also included for portions of Delaware and Chesapeake Bays.
This dataset consists of information extracted from the Coastal Vulnerability Index (Thieler and Hammar-Klose, 1999; Hammar-Klose and Thieler, 2001) that were used to inform a Bayesian network that was used to calculate the probability of long-term shoreline change associated with sea-level rise. The data included with this report contain both input data values from the Coastal Vulnerability Index and the discrete probability distributions of long-term shoreline change that were calculated using the Bayesian network.
