Resource Abstract:
- description: The coastal vulnerability index (CVI)provides a preliminary overview, at a National scale, of the relative susceptibility
of the Nation's coast to sea-level rise. This initial classification is based upon variables including geomorphology,
regional coastal slope, tide range, wave height, relative sea-level rise, and shoreline erosion and accretion rates. The combination
of these variables and the association of these variables to each other furnish a broad overview of coastal regions where
physical changes are likely to occur due to sea-level rise. To make this coastal vulnerability index data more accessible
to the public and other agencies, the USGS created this web service. This web service was created utilizing ESRI ArcServer.
Vector layers were collected, organized by the coastal regions of the U.S., U.S. Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf of Mexico Coasts,
and symbology made consistent among similar data sets. This service meets open geospatial consortium standards. The geographic
information system (GIS) data layers from this web service are cataloged by region for ease of access.; abstract: The coastal
