FutureCoast Transects for Sea Level Rise on Erodable Shorelines

Transects spaced at 10-meter intervals along wave-dominated erodable shorelines, as defined by the Dynamic Coast project. The data displays key information for coastal change calculations, including tide line dates and anticipated relative sea level rise, alongside results like erosion amount and rate per decade. Further explanation is available in the project's Technical Summary WS2.

Use Cases

• Projecting coastal erosion amounts and rates per decade based on the provided transect results.
• Modeling future shoreline positions based on anticipated relative sea level rise data.
• Analyzing the sensitivity of wave-dominated erodable shorelines to climate change scenarios.
• Informing coastal management and adaptation strategies using the key calculation information.

Strengths

• Transects are provided at a consistent 10-meter interval along relevant shorelines.
• Data includes both input factors (like tide line dates) and calculated results (erosion rates).
• Linked to the Dynamic Coast project, which suggests a methodological foundation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count, file size, and last update date are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Data coverage is limited to wave-dominated erodable shorelines as defined by a specific project.
