Description:
Abstract:
A coastal vulnerability index (CVI) was used to map the relative vulnerability of the coast to future sea-level rise within Cape Cod National Seashore in Massachusetts. The CVI ranks the following in terms of their physical contribution to sea-level rise-related coastal change: geomorphology, regional coastal slope, rate of relative sea-level rise, historical shoreline change rates, mean tidal range and mean significant wave height. The rankings for each input variable were combined and an index value calculated for 1-minute grid cells covering the park. The CVI highlights those regions where the physical effects of sea-level rise might be the greatest. This approach combines the coastal system's susceptibility to change with its natural ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions, yielding a quantitative, although relative, measure of the park's natural vulnerability to the effects of sea-level rise. The CVI and the data contained within this dataset provide an objective technique for evaluation and long-term planning by scientists and park managers.
Purpose:
This shapefile contains geologic, physical process, and coastal vulnerability information for Cape Cod National Seashore collected by a number of organizations, and compiled by the U.S. Geological Survey, Woods Hole Science Center. This dataset allows the user to view variables that affect coastal vulnerability in a Geographic Information System.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The attributes in this dataset are based on A Coastal Hazards Database for the U.S. Gulf Coast (Gornitz, V. and White, T. W. 1992. ORNL/CDIAC-60, NDP-043B. Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee) updated with data from more recent sources. The data has gone through a series of QA/QC procedures, and is therefore believed to accurately reflect the data gathered in the Coastal Vulnerability to Sea-Level Rise Study.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The NOAA medium resolution vector shoreline was imported into ArcGIS then the shoreline was divided into 1 minute segments so that a field for each shoreline variable (geomorphology, rate of shoreline change, regional coastal slope, rate of relative sea-level rise, mean significant wave height, mean tidal range, and coastal vulnerability index) could be created, defined and associated with each shoreline segment.
