1.1. Maps of Lands Close to Sea Level along the Middle Atlantic Coast of the United States: An Elevation Data Set to Use While Waiting for LIDAR

Maps of Lands Vulnerable to Sea Level Rise:

Understanding the broad-scale ramifications of accelerated sea level rise requires maps of the land that could be inundated or eroded. Producing such maps requires a combination of elevation information and models of shoreline erosion, wetland accretion, and other coastal processes. Assessments of coastal areas in the United States that combine all of these factors have focused on relatively sm...

Maps of Lands Close to Sea Level along the Middle Atlantic

The Effects of North Atlantic Oscillation on the atmospheric middle level Anomaly and precipitation of Iran.Case study: west of Iran.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the North Atlantic Oscillation on the middle levels of Atmosphere and precipitation changes in the West of country. To do this, first monthly rainfall data of 17 synoptic stations of the West Country in period of 30 years from 1984 to 2014 of country were collected from Meteorological Organization. As well as North Atlantic Oscillation...

Analysis of Lidar Elevation Data for Improved Identification and Delineation of Lands Vulnerable to Sea-Level Rise

The importance of sea-level rise in shaping coastal landscapes is well recognized within the earth science community, but as with many natural hazards, communicating the risks associated with sea-level rise remains a challenge. Topography is a key parameter that influences many of the processes involved in coastal change, and thus, up-to-date, high-resolution, high-accuracy elevation data are r...

Geomorphic Analysis in Determining Coastal Cells and Its Role in Coastal Management (Case Study: Bandar Anzali to Chalous Coasts)

Introduction Due to the different geomorphological and morph dynamic forces of the coastal area, they form different areas. Each of these areas requires its own coastal management. While in our country, coastal management is done without considering the characteristics and coastal characteristics of each coast. In this study, in order to classify coasts and determine coastal cells, morph dynam...
