Description:
Abstract:
The bluff hazard zone dataset for the year 2100 represents the areas vulnerable to erosion with a sea-level rise of 1.4 meters.
Purpose:
This dataset was developed to estimate extents of bluff erosion given a 1.4 meter sea-level rise for the entire California coast.
Supplemental_Information:
This data was developed by Philip WIlliams & Associates, LTD under contract with the Pacific Institute. For details concerning methods, see the Sea Level Rise Coastal Erosion Mapping document from Philip Williams and Associates, ltd.
