Arctic Slope Shoreline Change Susceptibility Spatial Data Model, 2015-16

Shoreline change susceptibility information added to 50-meter transects created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as part of their National Assessment of Shoreline Change Project, Alaska (Gibbs and Richmond 2015). Shoreline change
susceptibility information added to the USGS transects are based on the USGS Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) adapted to the Arctic context by including wind-fetch distances based on historical sea ice extents. Transects also include landform
information from ShoreZone (ShoreZone.org), and historical shoreline change calculated by the USGS (Gibbs and Richmond 2015). The purpose of the data is to identify shoreline change susceptibility at areas of interest to stakeholders selected during
an Instructional Systems Design (ISD) process to develop a shoreline change risk WebGIS in collaboration with the North Slope Borough.

Data are forthcoming and inquiries concerning the data should be directed to Michael Brady.

本数据集将岸线变化易感性信息添加至美国地质调查局（U.S. Geological Survey, USGS）作为其阿拉斯加国家岸线变化评估项目（National Assessment of Shoreline Change Project, Alaska）所创建的50米断面（Gibbs与Richmond，2015）。
添加至美国地质调查局断面的岸线变化易感性信息，基于适配北极环境的美国地质调查局海岸脆弱性指数（Coastal Vulnerability Index, CVI）构建，该指数纳入了基于历史海冰范围的风区距离参数。断面数据同时包含来自ShoreZone（ShoreZone.org）的地貌信息，以及美国地质调查局测算的历史岸线变化数据（Gibbs与Richmond，2015）。
本数据集旨在识别经教学系统设计（Instructional Systems Design, ISD）流程选定的利益相关者关注区域的岸线变化易感性，以与北坡自治市镇（North Slope Borough）合作开发岸线变化风险WebGIS系统。
