Summary

This dataset contains projections of shoreline positions and uncertainty bands for future scenarios of sea-level rise and management conditions. Projections were made using CoSMoS-COAST, a numerical model forced with global-to-local nested wave models (updated for Phase 2) and assimilated with lidar-derived shoreline vectors. Read metadata and methods carefully.
