Coastal Changes and Impacts
CoNED Project Viewer
Launch ViewerCoNED Project Viewer
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Coastal National Elevation Database Applications (CoNED) Project Viewer contains integrated topobathymetric data (topobathy) of merged renderings of both topography (land elevation) and bathymetry (water depth).
These data provide important information for a range of applications needed for climate change analysis in sensitive coastal regions, including:
- Flood hazard mapping and inundation
- Sea-level rise
- Sediment transport
- Storm surge
- Coastal redevelopment planning
- Restoration, redevelopment, and protection
- Cliff metric development and analysis
- Coastal geomorphology analysis

Coastal National Elevation Database (CoNED) Applications Project
High-resolution coastal elevation data is required to identify flood, hurricane, and sea-level rise inundation hazard zones and other earth science applications, such as the development of sediment transport and storm surge models. Light detection and ranging (lidar) enables the rapid collection of very accurate elevation data over large areas, and during the last decade, airborne laser...
