Coastal communities are uniquely vulnerable to sea-level rise (SLR) and severe storms such as hurricanes. These events enhance the dispersion and concentration of natural and anthropogenic chemicals and pathogenic microorganisms that could adversely affect the health and resilience of coastal communities and ecosystems in coming years. The U.S. Geological Survey has developed a strategy to define baseline and post-event sediment-bound environmental health (EH) stressors (hereafter referred to as the Sediment-Bound Contaminant Resiliency and Response [SCoRR] strategy). A tiered, multimetric approach has been developed to (1) identify and map contaminant sources and potential exposure pathways for human and ecological...
Scientists within the Geospatial Analyses and Applications Team develop and apply geospatial analytical methods to answer broad-scale questions about source-sink and cause-effect relationships between contaminants and vulnerable communities. Multivariate statistics are used to identify connections between landscape gradients and observational data. These connections are used to develop risk assessments and make predictions across broad, regional scales. Datasets and analytical tools developed by the CTT support multiple projects seeking to understand complex source-sink relationships between observational data and landscape characteristics. Datasets, tools, and methods detailed and stored on this community page...
