Assessment of Hurricane-induced Coastal Erosion Hazards in Puerto Rico

Detailed Description
Evaluación de los peligros de erosión costera inducidos por Huracanes en Puerto Rico.
The Coastal Change Hazards Portal contains information on the probabilities of erosion on sandy beaches along the U.S. Gulf and Atlantic coasts during generalized category 1-5 hurricane conditions. Hurricane-induced water levels, due to both surge and waves, are compared to beach and dune elevations to determine the probabilities of collision, overwash, and inundation. Related morphologic and hydrodynamic data are also included. These data have now been expanded to Puerto Rico.
