  17. 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.

  18. Title: Cuba 1775 (Raster Image)

    Contributors:

    Summary: This layer is a georeferenced image three engraved (1775) nautical charts of Cuba joined together. The 3 atlas maps "The coast of Yucatan from Campeche to Bahia del Ascension; with the west end of Cuba," "The Island of Cuba with part of the Bahama Banks & the Martyrs," and "The Windward Passage with several passages," appear in 'The West-India Atlas: Or, A Compendious Description Of The West - Indies: Illustrated With Forty One Correct Charts And Maps, Taken From Actual Surveys. Together With An Historical Account Of The Several Countries And Islands Which Compose That Part Of The World'The historic map layers in the Google Earth Rumsey Map Collection have been selected by David Rumsey from his large collection of historical maps, as well as some from other collections with which he collaborates. All the maps contain rich information about the past and represent a sampling of time periods, scales, and cartographic art, resulting in visual history stories that only old maps can tell. Each map has been georeferenced by Rumsey, thus creating unique digital map images that allow the old maps to appear in their correct places on the modern globe. Some of the maps fit perfectly in their modern spaces, while othersgenerally earlier period mapsreveal interesting geographical misconceptions of their time. Cultural features on the maps can be compared to the modern satellite views using the slider bars to adjust transparency. The result is an exploration of time as well as space, a marriage of historic cartographic masterpieces with innovative contemporary software tools.
