USGS DLG's are no longer available thru EarthExplorer as of April 8, 2025. Digital Line Graphs (DLGs) are digital vector representations of cartographic information derived from USGS maps and related sources.

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.

There are no restrictions on the use of data received from the U.S. Geological Survey's Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center or NASA's Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC), unless expressly identified prior to or at the time of receipt. Depending on the product source, we request that the following statements be used when citing, copying, or reprinting data:

SRTM data have been enhanced to fill areas of missing data to provide more complete digital elevation data with a resolution of 1 arc-second for the United States and 3 arc-seconds for global coverage.

Shuttle Radar Topography Mission data were used to generate digital elevation data with a resolution of 1 arc-second for the United States and 3 arc-seconds for global coverage.
