This data release contains coastal wetland synthesis products for the state of Connecticut. Metrics for resiliency, including the unvegetated to vegetated ratio (UVVR), marsh elevation, tidal range, wave power, and exposure potential to environmental health stressors are calculated for smaller units delineated from a digital elevation model, providing the spatial variability of physical factors that influence wetland health. The U.S. Geological Survey has been expanding national assessment of coastal change hazards and forecast products to coastal wetlands with the intent of providing federal, state, and local managers with tools to estimate the vulnerability and ecosystem service potential of these wetlands. For...

Lifespan of salt marshes in New York are calculated using conceptual marsh units defined by Defne and Ganju (2018) and Welk and others (2019, 2020a, 2020b, 2020c). The lifespan calculation is based on estimated sediment supply and sea-level rise (SLR) predictions after Ganju and others (2020). Sea level predictions are local estimates which correspond to the 0.3, 0.5, and 1.0 meter increase in Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL) scenarios by 2100 from Sweet and others (2022).

Marshes may drown if they are unable to accrete sediment at the rate of sea level rise, but predicting the rate of sediment accretion at different marshes is challenging because many processes (e.g. tidal range, wave frequency) and conditions (e.g. available sediment, vegetation density, shape of the marsh edge) impact it. The Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere-Wave-Sediment Transport (COAWST, Warner and others 2019; Warner and others 2010) model was used to simulate three-dimensional hydrodynamics, waves, and sediment transport on a marsh platform in an idealized domain. The computational grid was 400 (20) cells in the cross-shore (along-shore) directions with 10 vertical sigma layers, and a cross-shore horizontal resolution...

This data release contains foreshore slopes for primarily open-ocean sandy beaches along the west coast of the United States (California, Oregon and Washington). The slopes were calculated while extracting shoreline position from lidar point cloud data collected between 2002 and 2011. The shoreline positions have been previously published, but the slopes have not. A reference baseline was defined and then evenly-spaced cross-shore beach transects were created. Then all data points within 1 meter of each transect were associated with each transect. Next, it was determined which points were one the foreshore, and then a linear regression was fit through the foreshore points. Beach slope was defined as the slope of...
