  4. Title: Bahamas National Hazard Analysis, 2019: InVEST Coastal Vulnerability Model Outputs

    Contributors:

    Summary: This dataset shares the results of a 2019 coastal hazard and social vulnerability assessment for the entire coastline of The Bahamas. The analysis was conducted at a 250 m resolution and each shore point shows the modeled results relating to exposure to coastal hazards, population at risk and the potential for ecosystems to provide coastal protection for each 250 m segment. These model results were used to conduct the analysis for a peer-reviewed paper and are presented in a web map viewer used by the Bahamian government, NGOs, and the general public to look at shoreline exposure and vulnerability for the different SLR and habitat scenarios. This layer is presented in the WGS84 coordinate system for web display purposes. Downloadable data are provided in native coordinate system or projection.

  9. Title: Maps of wind-wave height on Minnesota lake shorelines

    Contributors:

    Summary: This data set provides maps of typical wind-wave height and energy on Minnesota lakes to inform shoreline and near-shore habitat restoration projects. The data set consists of a set of ArcMap shape files which map out simulated wave height and energy parameters for a series of points around the shoreline of 460 lakes in Minnesota, with separate files for annual wave statistics and monthly wave statistics. The wave statistics were calculated for each lake based on airport wind data and the open water distance (fetch) across the lake for each wind direction. Each shapefile contains information on multiple wave statistics, including the mean and significant wave height, the number of days wave height exceeds thresholds, and cumulative wave energy over the time period. There are a total of 11 shapefiles in this data set, including one file for annual wave statistics (Annual_WaveStats), 9 files for monthly wave statistics for April through December (e.g. April_WaveStats.shp) , and a shapefile giving the lake polygons for the 460 Minnesota lakes included in this study (Study_Lakes.shp). Each shapefile is packaged for download in .zip format.
